Tom Brown, an office worker, lives in New York, USA. He inherited (继承)$1, 000, 00 when he was 23 years old. He didn't feel happy at all. His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn't have to. Tom decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. He didn't tell any of his friends and gave $100, 000 of his money to a charity (慈善团体) to help poor children to live better lives. Today he is 36, he still wears cheap shoes and clothes and owns a small car only, but he is much happier.
Until now Tom has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world, $200 a month for each. The child does not receive the money in cash (现金) . The money pays for the child's school expenses, food, medical care and clothing. Tom receives a report on the children's progress each year. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English.
Once Tom went to visit a little girl in Africa. “When I saw her, I felt very happy, ” he said, “I saw that the money was used for a very good plan.
