Then Miriam and her mother visited Africa to learn how the group was helping elephants. Later, Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them. A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a film about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girl39。s effort to save them. Miriam decided she wanted to raise money to save elephants. Last year, Miriam created a program called They Deserve（應(yīng)得） to Be Free after seeing how young elephants are abused in Thailand. She learned how people take a baby elephant, don39。t give it food or water for days and beat it hard. It made me really sad. I need to do something useful. Miriam said. Miriam is working to make money for Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts. She recently joined about 12 other students in an art center. They made elephants from clay and decorated（裝飾） them. Then she created a plan to sell clay elephants. Kate, Miriam39。s art teacher, opened her art studio（工作室） to Miriam and her friends on weekends so they could make clay elephants. She even gave them the clay. It39。s great to see a young student wanting to spend her time on something meaningful. This is what we should all work towards, Kate said.
