Some students became very worried about their maths exam results. Each evening, I gave lessons to three of my friends, so that they would have a chance of passing their examination. I was patient, and got good at explaining things to people, and the lessons went well. My three friends and I all passed the examination.

He once spent six hours shooting 2,057 throws. The marathon effort did more than just make his arms tired— it raised about $3,000 to help kids in Africa. Four years later, Austin, 13, has turned his one－ kid effort into Hoops of Hope，a growing nonprofit group with thousands of participants in six countries. A nonprofit group is one that does not make money for itself. Each Hoops of Hope member aims to shoot 500 to 2,057 free throws. Austin chose the number 2,057 because that is about the number of kids in Africa who are orphaned (成為孤兒 ) by AIDS during the length of a typical school day, based on United Nations data. AIDS is a disease spread by body fluids. The disease is the No. 1 cause of death in Africa. It kills about 6,000 people on the continent each day. Free－ throw participants collect donations from their friends and families. So far, Austin and Hoops of Hope have raised more than $300,000. That money has gone toward building a new school and a medical center in Zambia, a country in Southern Africa. Austin visited Zambia last fall to see the difference he has made firsthand. “The kids are just like me， and they have goals， and they have dreams， and they have a purpose， ”he told WR News. “They were happy even though they were living in poverty.” This year， Austin hopes to raise enough money to build a second medical center in Zambia.
