If you teach him how to fish, you’ll feed him for lifetime.” We need to help people to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears. —— Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster (災(zāi)難 ） like the earthquake. It’s good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary(工資 ） to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference. — Mary, aged 14, Stratford Giving money to charity can help, but it’s not the final answer.
