给陌生人的爱

by Jesse Hunter

The world is suffering and crying out for help. There are people in need and violent atrocities on display everyday， in nations youve never heard of with seemingly unpronounceable names and incoherent dialects， making it somewhat easier for those of us at a distance to ignore. Unfortunately， there will never be a shortage of people in need， silently crying out for help. But there are more than a few generous people out there， whose small acts of kindness have helped those in need.

Its pretty common knowledge nowadays that there are millions of families below the poverty line， unable to afford an education for their children. But did you know that there are a growing number of innocent Nepalese children rotting away in prison for the crimes of their parents？ Well， one young woman found out about it， is doing something about it， and you can read all about it in Pulling Children Out of Nepals Prisons.

With help， a little goes a long way， and going out of your way to help a child can end up saving thousands of children down the line. Read A Small Act， A Kenyan Miracle to see how receiving an education led one boy to dedicate his life and a whole charitable organization to his benefactor.

When you hear the term “people in need” you generally think of people who need money， food or shelter. But that shy teen in the corner could be desperately in need of unconditional support and encouragement. Letters to Complete Strangers follows a lonely girl who heals herself， and others， by writing kind words to people shes never met.

People who heal the world by giving back to society are still too few and far between， but as awareness grows so too does generosity. So spread the word， help where you can， and the world will be a better place.

世界正饱受痛苦，亟待救助。在一些你从未听说过的国度，每天都有人陷入困境，每天都有暴行出现。这些地方的名字似乎晦涩难读，那里的人也许言语难辨，这些都让身在远方的我们更容易把他们忽略掉。不幸的是，身陷困境，默默寻求帮助的人从不缺少。不过，世界上有不少乐善好施的人，他们的一点善举已经帮助到了那些有需要的人。

众所周知，如今在贫困线下的家庭数以百万计，他们无力为自己的孩子提供教育。但你可曾知道，越来越多无辜的尼泊尔儿童因为父母犯罪而身陷囹圄备受摧残？嗯，一位年轻的女子发现了这种情况，并且做了一些好事，你可以从《尼泊尔监狱外的爱》一文了解整个故事。

对于帮助，即使一点点都能带来巨大的影响，跨出第一步帮助一名儿童最终可能会惠及数千儿童。读一下《小小的善举，大大的奇迹》一文，看看通过接受教育，一个男孩如何将自己的人生以及一整个慈善组织用来报答他的恩人。

当你听到“需要帮助的人”这个短语时，你一般会想到那些需要钱、食物或者栖身之所的人。但那个街角上的羞涩少年极其需要的或许是无条件的支持和鼓励。《给陌生人的信》讲述一个孤独的女孩，通过向素未谋面的人写下善意的字句，从而“治愈”了自己，也“治愈”了他人。

通过回馈社会来拯救世界的人还在少数，但随着人们对这方面意识的逐渐提升，愿意慷慨相助的人也在增多。所以，将助人为乐的信息传播开去吧，尽你所能施以援手，这个世界将会变得更加美好。
