A
Do you make money doing small jobs? If you do, you may have heard of the idea of spending only some of it, saving some of it and donating (捐赠) some to people who need it more.
The head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife announced they were giving away 99% of their money from Facebook during their lives to help others！That alone is amazing considering most people donate about 3% to 5% of the money they have.It's even more amazing when you realize they're donating about ＄45 billion.That's ＄45,000,000,000！！！！Don't worry.They'll still have about ＄455 million to live on!
They made this decision partly because they had a baby girl, Max, and thought about what kind of world they'd like her to grow up in.It must be an amazing feeling to have that kind of money spent on people in need.Mark Zuckerberg is one of the richest persons in the world, so most of us will never know what that would be like.
But we don't have to be super wealthy to make meaningful change.Sometimes change can come from change!
Tenyearold Joey Roth from America started saving up change he found anywhere — around his house, on the street, on his way to school ... And then he started putting it in a jar (广口瓶)．He even asked the tooth fairy to donate some change in his letter to her after he lost a tooth! (The tooth fairy is an imaginary person.)
His collection, Jar for Change, has grown into a communitywide effort and he has raised over ＄10,000 all from people dropping coins into jars! The money he raises goes to help connect parents with their very sick babies.
See what these people have done? You, too, can make a difference — no matter how old you are, where you live and how much you earn!
