There are various ways we can help people in need. Big charity organizations commonly deliver food to hungry people, build homes for the homeless, and volunteer at local charity centres.
1 , there is a new way to help poor people living in distance, and that is by giving money to them directly.
Give-Directly gives the money to the poor families directly by using cell phones. When the family receives an SMS message, they can get the money from a nearby mobile money agent. It has become an effective way to transfer the money over thousands of miles.
Since 2012, the charity organization Give-Directly has been studying the 2 of direct money support to poor Kenyans(肯尼亚人) . The charity gives them a one-year budget(预算), spread over several months. They can spend the money on whatever they need, and they never have to pay it back! When Give-Directly tracked(追踪) how the money was being used, they were glad to find that the Kenyans were using the money 3 .
Many of the families spent the money on new metal roofs to take the place of their old grass roofs. While grass roofs need 4 several times a year, metal roofs last longer and save money. Some bought land and cows for farming or started small businesses, such as buying a used motorcycle to transport people around like a taxi. This helped them to have more money for food, clothing and health care, and give their children an education.
The studies on giving money directly to poor Kenyans are going on. Some people are 5 that some of the families will waste the money or simply become dependent on these donations(捐助). Although it’s hard to tell if it is a good idea to give them direct money support, we can all agree that it is a 6 way of helping others.

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a 170 rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that rock and knew at once I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (钟爱) ever since climbing the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my 171 .
About 15 years ago, I started seeing a lot of 172 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s beyond me why visitors started respecting the place 173 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried picking up litter myself, but the job was too big. I would spend an hour or two on the job, only to find the area littered all over again weeks later. Finally, I was so 174 it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew nothing about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a clean up. On that day, more than 300 people 175 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of litter. It was amazing how much we were able to achieve. I couldn’t believe the 176 we made — the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of litter and covered 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people 177 about their surroundings (环境). If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 178 rather than complaining. We need to teach by example. You can’t blame (责备) others 179 you start with yourself.
