陕西省西安中学2019届高三上学期英语期中考试试卷
On Dyec. 13, 2014, Nubia Wilson turned 16. But instead of 1with an exciting Sweet 16 birthday party, the California teen devoted this milestone to 2the lives of orphans in Ethiopia.
Through several summers of volunteer work at an Ethiopia orphanage, Nubia learned firsthand the severe poverty so many children3. In an email to The Huffington Post, Nubia said that she was 4struck by the children's lack of access to 5— their school only went through the fourth grade.
Over the course of her volunteer work, Nubia became interested in one 6, Hermela. She writes:
Out of the many students in the kindergarten class, Hermela became 7and attached to me to a point where it was becoming 8for both of us to leave each other. She is now in the second grade. The thought of Hermela not being able to have her meal and 9education after the fourth grade became 10and I knew I had to do something.
That's when Nubia decided that she didn't want a traditional Sweet 16.11, she wanted to use the money her parents would have spent on a party to establish 12grade class for Hermela and other kids.
"The money could provide a(n) 13solution that will serve for many years compared to the one-day 14of my party," Nubia wrote to Huffpost Live. In short, I want Hermela to continue 15. "
After telling friends and family her 16, Nubia set up a(n) 17page "Keep Hermela Smiling" on CrowdRise. Her 18will raise funds for the Fregenet Foundation, which funds education and community services in Ethiopia.
So far, Nubia has 19$2,781 of her $10,000 goal. Nubia says that her parents have been extremely 20; they're selling most of their Ethiopian artifacts to help raise funds.
Nubia's birthday may not have been a party, but it's truly a celebration.
