The final letter

Although Mai Pearls sponsored 40 children from south China last academic year and each one of them wrote us a letter, only 5 of those letters have been translated into English and this is the final letter. I hope that you have enjoyed reading them and that they have encouraged you to think about ethics when shopping. It may seem like it does not make a difference, but these letters show that it truely does both practically and emotionally.

Dear donor,

Thank you very much to give a helping hand to me! Your help lightens our family’s burden!
Also your help makes me cherish my chance to study! When I met difficulties, your help make me face it and resolve it!

I know you set aside money from your daily spend and donate it to me, which not only help my physical needs but also encourage my spirit! Even I say thousands of thanks, it cannot express my appreciation! What I can do is only wish you have a happy life!

Living in an impoverished area, I don’t feel alone because of your dedication and love! I know there are most of children like me getting your help in our school! In order to show our grateful heart, we study hard and compete with each other! We are good students in our class! Therefore, your support is our motivation to do everything well!

Once I fainted and was sent to hospital! When my parents took care of me, I saw their white hair and wrinkle! I felt their love and expectation to me!

I believe that I’ll choose a right way in my future journey. Instead of coming to a halt, I’ll face the difficulties bravely! Your spirit encourages me to change my life! I know my value is not like clay, my life is not like living on a branch, and my heart will fly in the sky!

There is an old Chinese saying: “Drop the boon of the water; be to flow out spring to report mutually!” (Little help brings much return). I know that I’m a common girl but I have a positive attitude to my future! I also want to begin my career in the future to reward your love and help other needy people!

Thanks again!

Beat regards
