　　Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter from animals also falls on it.

　　All soil needs food. If we don’t give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers are also very useful. The same crop should not be grown in the same place every year; it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.

　　Dear Reader,

　　Imagine an 11--year--old child whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the fields.

　　Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can’t fill her stomach with water because it’s polluted, and who has watched life slip away(消失)from her father and little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.

　　Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.

　　Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. Chances are Maria will grow up without any schooling. What will be her future? In many ways, it will be disastrous(灾难性的).

　　But for just 52 pennies a day ,you can sponsor(资助)a child like Maria. Show her that somewhere, someone cares about her. Through “Save the children”, you can help Maria’s mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a food dinner and get the money she needs to buy clothes and schools things for Maria.

　　To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard—working people can help themselves. Build a school--a hospital---bring in clean water. This is what “Save the child” has been about since 1932.

　　For you there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person. Not with a handout, but a hand up. That’s how “Save the children” works, But without you, it can’t work.. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form below to help a child like Maria and her village.

　　It can make such a difference---in her life and yours.

　　For the children
