I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not beChristmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd?" Just when I started tothat there would not be a Christmas that year, three womenat our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense ofthat I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't. Somebody had thoughtof me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make myChristmas there special and memorable, Iremembered the women's visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling offor as many children as I could possibly reach.
So Ia plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,with a child's name. We wanted all of them to know they were.. Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, Ithem that they couldn't open their presentsevery child had come forward. Finally thethey had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smilesup the room. Thein the room was obvious, andwasn't just about toys. It was a feeling - the feeling I knewthat Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.
