Carly Zalenski’s eyes were filled with tears as the
dusty bus ran down a dirt road in southern Vietnam. She and her parents had
travelled to Ho Chi Minh City by plane from Canton, Ohio of the USA. As they
became to the village, hundreds of cheering stood
in lines at the to the Hoa Lac School, a
two-story building that Carly had money
for.
Carly started helping when
she was eight. She often walked about to send Thanksgiving baskets at church to
families in need. When she saw one girl very
little in a snowy day and others didn’t have warm ,
she went door-to-door asking for coats,
hats, gloves, and scarves, then handed them to
the poor families with the baskets.
However, Carly wanted to do more—she
wanted to “change these children’s with her
efforts”. She remembered that her grandmother’s Rotary club had collected money
to build a in Vietnam a few years ago. She
wanted to build a school, .
She put together a short show on the people and
culture of Vietnam to his audience. her new braces(腳支架) made it to make
the speech, she was full of enthusiasm, “I want to give them a place to their
lives better.”
That summer, Carly with
her family across Ohio, visiting three or four Rotary clubs a week. “We
travelled like people to all these
meetings,” said her mother. In two years, Carly had raised $50,000. At the
donation in Hoa Lac, the school principal was deeply
by the little girl. “How wonderful it is,” he said, “that a
girl at her age wants to do something for kids so far away.”
