She is devoting her life in the charity to improve the situation of children and women in the third world countries. I think the bad situation could not be understood by the ones who had never ever been there. This summer I had the chance to travel to Africa. I did not go to the spots of interests but go to the poorest areas of that continent, because when I was home I could not imagine how bad situation they were in. Then what I saw shocked me. If I could, I would like to call it the hell. The children were lack of food and medicine. Their lives were threatened by the starvation and AIDS. Some of them were born as HIV sufferers and all they could do is waiting for the death just because they do not have money to last their lives. It is a kind of competition, the starvation and the AIDS are the competitors, they are competing for who take away the children’s lives first. And I met some health children there. All they do every day is trying their best to see the sun rising for the next day. When our children prayed for the Barbie Dolls, toy transformers, Air Jordan or the Spider Man’s cosmetic clothes as the gifts, the children in Africa could play the <a href="http://www.ybuw.com/Lanyards/" rel="nofollow">lanyard</a> with great interests. During the trip, I cried several times in my tent. At first I was crying for there has no toilet at all. Then as I got with the children and women there, I just cried for their situation. There are so many single mothers and children who would never know who are their fathers. They are living under the threatening of death, but when you are with them you could be moved by their positive attitude. Sometimes I thought that I might suicide if I were in that situation. These children and women need more and more people to take part in the charity activity for rescuing them.
