Up to now Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world，by sending them each $200 a mouth．The money was used for the children’s study, food, medicine and clothing．Jack receives a report each year on the children’s progress(进步)．They can write to each other．but usually the children do not speak English．

When Jack first heard about these children，he wanted to help them．“It was nothing special,” he said．“Once Jack went to meet a little girl in Africa．He said that the meeting was very exciting．“When I met her．I felt very ,very happy．"he said．“Ana I saw that the money was used for a good cause．It brought me happiness．I want to do everything I can to go on helping those children.”Until I went to these countries and met the children I was helping，I didn’t know anything about their life．”
