A man in Pakistan is now working to help children get an education. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.

    It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second ­highest number in the world. Only Nigeria has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.

    Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.

    Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, "Why don't you go to school?" The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.

    Ayub was also an orphan and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, "When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral said they were sorry, but no one helped." He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.

    Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy's school fees.

    Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.

    Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.

    Ayub said," I used to argue with kids who worked ' Why are you washing someone's dishes or their clothes? Why don't you study? ' "

    One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. "He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school, "Abbas said.

    Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.

    Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education. Information gathered by an organization shows half of all Pakistani children in the 5th grade do not understand basic mathematics and cannot read a story in their language.

    A group in Islamabad reports Pakistan spends less on education than any other country in South Asia.

A trip to Hangzhou

案。

Kim and Ray were close friends. One day, they went on a sea voyage (航行). At first, everything was fine. However, their ship was broken in the middle of the ocean. Kim and Ray left the ship and swam to a nearby island. 

Kim and Ray didn't find anything to eat on the island. They had to pray（祈祷; 祷告） that they could survive (存活). They wanted to know whose prayer would be more powerful. Kim moved to the eastern part of the island and prayed there. Ray went to the western part of the island and prayed there. 

Kim prayed and his prayer came true. He got some meat, fruit and vegetables on the seashore. Several days later, Kim prayed that he could have a ship to take him home. His prayer came true again. There came a ship to take him home. 

As Kim was about to enter the ship, he heard someone speak to him. It was just a voice, "Are you going alone, leaving your friend here?"

Then Kim remembered about Ray. He asked the voice, "May I know who you  are?"The voice answered, "I am the one that answers everyone's prayers. In fact, I was not answering your prayers. I was only answering Ray's prayers. He said 'please make all of Kin's prayers come true. '"

Kim was in tears and rushed to the other side of the island. When he found Ray there, Ray was dying because he didn't have anything to eat. Kim said sorry to Ray, gave him some food and saved his life in time. He realized that Ray's prayer was more powerful. It was because Ray's prayer was totally selfless.
