Nyamayaro’s life path wasn’t always so high⁃profile. Growing up, she assumed she’d spent her life contributing to her village, and farming in the fields like the other women around her. But a chance encounter with a United Nations worker that came amid a severe drought altered that path forever. “I will never forget that day,” Nyamayaro says. “A child dies from hunger every five seconds, and I almost became one of those children. A severe drought had hit our village when I turned 8 years old and suddenly, my paradise changed overnight and there was nothing to eat or drink. I thought I was going to die. It felt like there was no way of getting out of this. But then this incredible thing happened; an African, who was a United Nations humanitarian, found me, and gave me a bowl of porridge that saved my life.” The chance encounter provided more than just lifesaving nourishment—it opened the doors as to what could be possible for her, who immediately set her sights on working for the United Nations just like her savior. “I thought I want to be like her, so that one day I can change the lives of others. I’m so grateful for that moment which was very devastating, because it gave my life so much meaning and purpose. The woman showed me what was possible. Sometimes one moment can really change your entire life.” Just as the United Nations worker opened her eyes to opportunities previously unknown, Nyamayaro hopes girls from Africa can do the same for children growing up in villages just like her, as she knows her story is not unique. 【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述人道主义者Nyamayaro小时候得到别人的帮助,这件事对她影响很大,让她下定决心以后去帮助别人的故事。 1.Why is a yellow dress mentioned in Paragraph 1?
