The 5-year-old girl who saved millions of lives turned out to be doing it this way

Confidence, kindness, interpersonal skills, public speaking skills… Danma believes that these are the qualities and abilities that every parent wants their children to have. Every child is an angel who loves to dream. When we are all trying to use \”rice bowl education\” to stimulate children\’s growth awareness, a mother in the United States relied on \”dream education\” to let her child Catherine get away from home. , became a little superman who could write, speak, dare to think and do, and became popular in the United States. ▲ Catherine Kaomai\’s suffering awakened the love of children. One day in April 2006, five-year-old Catherine was watching a documentary about malaria in Africa on TV. When Catherine listened to the heavy voice-over on the TV: \”On average, every 30 seconds, One child died of malaria…\” She had just understood how long 30 seconds was, so she picked up her fingers and started counting. She was so scared that she cried. Regarding her daughter\’s sentimentality, her mother neither ignored nor laughed at her. Instead, she carefully cared for her and encouraged her to turn her interest into action. The two of them began to study Africa and malaria seriously. After some research, they found that a drug-treated bed net can effectively prevent the spread of malaria. However, such bed nets cost US$10 each, and many families in Africa cannot afford them. ▲ malaria: The malaria dream made the child take action. I thought it would just go away, until the kindergarten teacher called: \”The child has not paid for meals several times.\” \”No wonder my daughter has eaten so much for dinner when she came home recently! \”. Only then did her mother realize that Catherine was starving and had saved her meal money to buy mosquito nets for African children. She did not blame her daughter, but was moved by Catherine\’s love. You know, my daughter used to lose her temper because she didn’t have enough to eat at school, and she got into trouble because her mother gave her little toys when she was a baby to a neighbor. Now she is able to save meal money for African children she has never met. The mother immediately put down what she was doing and worked with her daughter to sort out the used clothes at home and sell them in the second-hand market. I bought a mosquito net with the money I exchanged, but where do I send it after buying it? Catherine\’s dream of saving African children once again encountered obstacles. ▲ Catherine did not give up on the mosquito net model designed by Lolita, but thought of calling the directory assistance desk for help. She actually found a company called \”Nothing But Nets (NBN)\” through the American Charity Federation, which specifically raised money for Africa. Mosquito net organization. ▲NBN promotional poster \”Dream Gives Children Courage\” After the mosquito nets were mailed, Catherine quickly received a letter of thanks from the organization, but she did not stop her action. Catherine told her mother that even if she donated 10 tents, it would only guarantee that no children would die for 5 minutes. However, the kindergarten teacher told her that there are 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. But the mother told her daughter that the money for 10 tents was enough for the family to live for a week. This made Catherine understand that her own strength was limited. With her mother\’s encouragement, she started a new round of actions: Catherine, who had never spoken in public before, mustered up the courage to bring a homemade mosquito net model to communities, schools, Church speech, calling on everyone to donate to African children; the short 3-minute performance was a great success, bringing in more than $800 in donations. This led Catherine to discover a new way to raise funds, and from then on she started performing in churches. ▲Catherine and Mosquito played the role of Catherine, who was still in kindergarten and was not very good at writing. They made a certificate for donating mosquito nets with their own hands and wrote \”A mosquito net will be sent in your name\” crookedly on each piece of cardboard. And draw pictures and take them to the flea market to invite more people to donate. ▲Catherine is writing cards. By Christmas 2006, she had raised more than $10,000 and became the spokesperson for the NBN organization. Dreaming of leading children to a wider world. In 2007, Catherine saw on TV that Beckham was also collecting mosquito nets for Africa. She felt that Beckham should also be praised, so she and her mother worked together to find Beckham\’s agent. He sent his handmade certificate to Xiaobei. A week later, Beckham posted this certificate on his personal website, drawing more people\’s attention to malaria in Africa. ▲Two months after Beckham, Catherine received a letter of thanks from children in a local African village. These two things greatly inspired and encouraged her: it turns out that dealing with celebrities is not that difficult! She invited her friends to make 100 certificates and sent one to everyone on the latest Forbes rich list. Soon, Bill Gates told the world that he received a certificate of award with a truly touching letter attached: \”Dear Mr. Bill Gates: Without mosquito nets, children in Africa would die from malaria…\” Bill Gates Ci announced a donation of US$3 million to the NBN organization. ▲The African children were so happy after receiving the mosquito nets that they funded a documentary shoot in Africa. They took their family and Catherine to Africa to visit the children who were suffering from the disease. ▲Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates answered questions at the 2011 Malaria Forum ▲ The Gateses’ mother in Africa was also moved by her daughter and went to Uganda to participate in malaria prevention in Africa. ▲ Katherine’s mother, Lynda, has a dream that children in Africa can not only change themselves, but also change the world. In this way, more and more people and celebrities have joined: Clinton, representatives of the United Nations Refugee Office, NBA star Curry, etc. In this donation to protect children from malaria. ▲In fundraising together with Clinton and other big guys, NBA star Stephen Curry made a promise a few years ago: for every three-pointer he makes in the game, he will donate three anti-malaria mosquito nets to Africa! ▲NBA star Stephen Curry Nowadays, in addition to being busy with studies, Katherine also often gives lectures everywhere. ▲Is Dan’s mother the only one who thinks this loli is beautiful? ▲ On April 25, 2011, while attending the \”Champions to End Malaria\” photo exhibition with United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, relevant organizations investigated and found that the frequency of child deaths from malaria in Africa has been extended from the original 30 seconds to One minute. ▲A recent photo of Catherine. All these changes only stem from the love and dreams of a child and the encouragement of a mother. Education is essentially a way to teach children to dreamIn the process, Catherine\’s kind thoughts and dreams not only changed herself, but also changed the world. What Dan’s mother wants to say is that as parents, please stop using the narrow-mindedness of “just sweeping the snow in front of your own door” and the utilitarianism of “only doing things related to grades” to extinguish your children’s dreams and hinder their children’s path. “Rice bowl education” \”Growing up under the pressure will only be full of stress and anxiety. Why not start with interest and love? Respect children\’s dreams, support children\’s kindness, and open up the pattern of children\’s lives. Don\’t be afraid of your children suffering a loss. A child\’s growth always begins with \”forgetting yourself.\” Don’t be afraid of your children’s dreams. Only when they are on the road to their dreams will they persevere and work hard down-to-earth. It doesn’t matter what the child’s dream is. What’s important is that in the process of “dream building”, the child dares to think and do, has the courage to pursue goals when he has them, and has the mindset to solve difficulties when they encounter them… All of this will eventually become The wealth of a child\’s life. I hope that every child will not only live for grades, but also for a job. I also hope that from now on, let us accompany our children and hold up the world with love!
