Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren. After a hurricane (颶風(fēng) ) destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre. She says, “I have always liked the Red Cross because the anization helps people in need no matter what.” One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (難民 ) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38yearold woman from Somalia. Sahra is living and working in a town about 30 minutes’ walk from where Helen lives. They work on reading and writing skill. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life. Helen says, “The most rewarding (有益的 ) part of volunteer work is being friends with the people I help. They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs.” 29.
