捐書運動
親愛的朋友們， 你們好！ 謝謝你們可以關注我的這篇分享。我是Jack，中文名是譚二川。我生活在廣州，今年14歲了。
最近，我正代表香港腦之家爲揭陽貧困山區的小朋友舉行一個大型的捐書活動。我們需要爲他們捐2000本英文故事書。也可以是英文雜志，字典，兒歌DVD， CD。只要是對孩子有意義的任何英文讀物都可以。
半個月前，我作爲腦之家的義工參觀了揭陽的一些中小學。在那裏我見到了很多老師和學生。我親眼看到那些小朋友是在怎樣的環境下讀書。他們沒有一個很好的學習條件。校舍和其中的桌椅等學習設施都是好心人捐助的。當我看到他們的書架上就孤零零的幾本英文書時，我心裏覺得酸酸的。
我們在揭陽停留了兩天，和當地的老師還有學生做了很多互動。我清晰的記得，在我們教那些小朋友唱歌時，他們臉上的笑榮非常燦爛，他們清澈無比的眼 神告訴我們在場的每一個人他們有多麽的渴望學習渴望歌唱。在那一刻 我被深深的觸動了。
和揭陽的這些小朋友比起來，我的家庭爲我創造了很好的學習條件，關愛我的家人和老師爲我營造了舒適的成長環境，書房裏的書堆滿了好幾個書架，還包括了多種國家的語言 。感覺自己很幸運，可以擁有這麽多。但是，我知道自己這種幸運還不是真正的幸福，真正的幸福是當你可以爲他人付出，幫助他人同樣感到幸福。所以我想要通過這次捐書爲那些貧困的小朋友盡一份心和力。
我誠摯的邀請大家爲這些小朋友獻出一本或是幾本英文書，爲他們創造學習的機會；也希望你們可以將這個邀請傳遞給身邊的親人和朋友，任何人，讓他們有付出的機會。想象著在不久的一天，揭陽的小朋友收到這兩千本英文書時，該會是怎樣的情景呢，一定很快樂；我們呢？每一個爲他們捐獻圖書爲他們帶來快樂的人呢？一定會感到真正的幸福！
親愛的朋友們，請加入我們吧！
