Taking part in charity activities is not just for grown - up people. Children can do it too! Melvin Sheppard, 14, an American student, has done charitable work for eight years. He has also encouraged his classmates to join him.
Melvin studies at a middle school in Philadelphia. Recently, he collected $1,500 by himself and $487 from his classmates to donate to Cooper University Hospital.
Melvin was born nine weeks premature(早产的) in Cooper University Hospital, weighing 2.6 kg. His father told him how Cooper saved his life, so he felt thankful to the hospital.
Melvin’s classmates joined him as soon as they found out about his kind behaviour. Their teacher, Michael Berner, also held a class with them about helping others. “It wasn’t really about the money,” Berner said. “It was about the fact that they were doing something good.”
“It is great to help someone that I know,” said Jordan, Melvin’s classmate. Melvin’s neighbours also helped out.
Since Melvin was 8, he and his parents have given money to Cooper University Hospital every year. This year, the director(主任) of Cooper’s Division of Neonatology(新生儿科) went to Melvin’s school to accept the money.
The money goes to a part of the hospital that helps about 500 young patients every year. “When they leave, we call them graduates(毕业生),” the director said. “We are pleased when our graduates and their family do well, like Melvin and his family.”
