“能捐我的压岁钱吗？”

三年级的潘同学在关心国家防疫新闻时得知一位脑瘫的孩子因为家人疑似新型冠状病毒被隔离后无人照料在家六天后死亡，潘同学流下了难受的眼泪；当他看到视频画面中把自己包裹的密不透风的防护衣的医生们连续工作数日，潘同学感到很心疼。他拉着爸爸问道：“爸爸，你能帮我把压岁钱捐给武汉的医生们和小朋友们吗？”爸爸二话没说，答应了小潘。潘同学和爸爸妈妈们一共向武汉慈善总会捐款10万元。

“Can I donate my red packets?”

Pan learned from the national epidemic news that a disabled child unfortunately died at home. Little Pan shed uncomfortable tears; He pulled at his father and asked, "Dad, can you help me donate my pocket money to the doctors and children in Wuhan?" Dad, without any hesitation, promised Little Pan. Pan and his parents donated 100,000 yuan to the Wuhan Charity Association.

“我们应该也要出点绵薄之力！”

四年级的沈同学在这个寒假里也一直通过网络了解时事新闻。当铺天盖地的抗疫新闻袭来的时候，小沈担心了，同时感受到了防疫的艰难。沈同学立刻对父母说：“爸爸妈妈，我也想帮帮不幸感染肺炎的人，都是自己人，我们应该也要出点绵薄之力”。其实小沈爸爸早有此意，他的公司里也有不少湖北员工，小沈爸爸主动联系了裘村镇慈善分会的负责人，表示要向疫区捐赠10万元，和女儿一起为抗击疫情尽一点绵薄之力。

“We should do something at this moment!”

Shen began to worry and feel the difficulty of epidemic prevention after she learned from the news. Shen immediately turned to his parents and asked them if they could help those unfortunate people. In fact, Shen's father’s company also has a lot of Hubei employees, and he then took the initiative to contact the head of local charity branch and decided to donate 100,000 yuan, and together with her daughter to fight against the coronavirus.

“我的益童承诺”

四年级的刘同学在今年这个特殊的新春许下了一个特别的愿望：我想帮助我们国家其他贫困地区的，尤其是疫区的小朋友们，也希望他们能够健康成长。这是一个小小的心愿，但和更多朋友的爱心汇聚在一起，一定能发挥出大大的力量。新年开始，刘同学会每个月从零用钱和压岁钱中捐出200元给联合国儿童基金会。

“I promise to help other kids who need help.”

Liu made a special wish to help others in impoverished area, especially the children in the epidemic areas. In the hope that they can grow up healthily. This is a small wish, but it is very meaningful and valuable. At the beginning of the new year, little Liu will donate 200 yuan a month to UNICEF.

“我捐100只口罩”

听闻武汉的很多医院缺少医护用品，八年级的郭同学心里十分焦急，马上和父母说：“我们一定要买到口罩，我们要给前线送物资，我想捐100只口罩。” 现在的形势下，口罩几乎成为了每家每户的必备品，自己都不够用，又十分难买。郭家全家总动员，最后拜托了人在河北的姐姐购买了100只口罩寄往了武汉。100只，数量很小，但力量很大，这是少年心系社会的体现，是少年责任担当的展示。

“I will donate 100 masks!”

Guo felt very anxious when he heard the shortage of medical supply in the epidemic area. He immediately planned to donate 100 masks. However, it was so difficult to buy masks under the current situation. Guo's family finally asked his sister in Hebei to buy the masks and send those to Wuhan. Although the number is very small, the strength is very large, and it shows the care and responsibility for the society.

“给孩子树立榜样”

学校许多同学的父母都积极参与到献出爱心的活动中，他们都觉得这是我们每一个中国人应尽的力，也想用实际行动告诉孩子懂得感恩，懂得互助。十年级的周爸爸、四年级的胡爸爸都通过慈善总会等机构代表家庭献出了自己的爱心。诺德安达的老师们也在行动，通过各个平台为武汉加油，为湖北加油，为祖国加油。

“Set examples for children”

Many parents actively involved in donation to make their contribution. They also want to use practical action to tell children to be grateful. Zhou’s father and Hu's father donated the money through the Charity Association and other institutions on behalf of the family. NAS Ningbo teachers are also in action through various platforms, for Wuhan, for Hubei and for China.
