A LETTER FROM PLAN INTERNATIONAL
来自国际计划的一封信
Dear Students,
亲爱的学生们，
I would like to welcome you to Plan International on behalf of your newly sponsored child, Orlando. My name is Rosanna and I work as a community volunteer in an area of Ecuador where Orlando and his family have lived for as long as they can remember. I recently visited Orlando's family and talked to Maria, Orlando's mother.
我想欢迎你光临国际计划对你的新资助的孩子代表，奥兰多。我的名字是王和我的工作作为一个社区志愿者在厄瓜多尔的一个区，他和家人住了只要他们能记住。最近我去了奥兰多的家庭跟玛丽亚，奥兰多的母亲。
Orlando is five years old and Maria told me that he enjoys playing with toy cars and singing. He is too young to go to school yet, but helps his family by collecting firewood, sowing and weeding. In this part of the world children grow up fast as they have to make a contribution to the family finances. Although they still have time to play, they also have to help with daily jobs, which can take up a lot of time.
奥兰多是五岁的玛丽亚告诉我，他喜欢玩玩具车和唱歌。他还太小，还不上学，但他家靠捡柴、播种和除草来帮助他。在这个世界上，孩子的成长很快，因为他们必须对家庭财务做出贡献。虽然他们还有时间去玩，他们也要有助于每天的工作，这可以占用很多时间。
Orlando is not able to write his own letters. However, we will encourage him to send you drawings. Fernando, his brother, is eager to write on behalf of Orlando's family. Although children in this community are very shy about writing to someone from a different country, we encourage them to write letters and send drawings. It is exciting for them to receive a letter or a photograph and so I hope you will find the time to send Orlando and his family a message occasionally. 爱英语吧

www.2abc8.comThere are ten members of Orlando's family altogether. His father, Manuel (40), is a poor farmer and his mother, Maria (36) is a housewife. Orlando is the youngest child in the family. He has four sisters and three brothers. This may sound like a very large family to you, but this is usual in this part of the world. At home the family speak Spanish.
有魔术的十名家庭成员共。他的父亲，曼努埃尔（40），是一个贫穷的农民和他的母亲，玛丽亚（36）是一个家庭主妇。奥兰多是家里最小的孩子。他有四个姐妹和三个兄弟。这可能听起来像一个非常大的家庭，但这是通常在这一部分的世界。在家里，家庭讲西班牙语。
Orlando's family lives in a small metal house that has a roof of dried grass and a dirt floor. They do not have their own toilet and have to use an open field. This increases the chances of disease. Maria toId me that for the last six months the three youngest children suffered from a skin disease but now they are fully recovered. This has been a great relief for the family. If any family members are sick, they have to travel for two hours to get to the nearest health centre. If there is an emergency, they have to travel three hours to get to the nearest hospital.
奥兰多的家住在一个小房子，有一个金属屋顶的干草和肮脏的地板上。他们没有自己的厕所，不得不使用一个开放的领域。这增加了疾病的几率。玛丽亚告诉我，在过去的六个月，三个年幼的孩子患有皮肤病，但是现在他们完全恢复。这对家庭是一个很大的安慰。如果有任何家庭成员生病，他们必须到最近的健康中心去旅行2个小时。如果有紧急情况，他们必须到最近的医院去旅行三个小时。
Orlando's family, like other families in the community, has a very small income and it is a struggle to be able to meet their basic needs. So your financial contribution will be especially appreciated. Even so the family has a lively social life. During their spare time, Orlando's family love to sit around their radio with friends, listening to the news and music.
奥兰多的家庭，社区中的其他家庭一样，有一个非常小的收入，这是一个斗争才能满足他们的基本需求。所以你的财务贡献将特别感谢。即使如此，家庭也有着生动的社会生活。在课余时间，奥兰多的家人喜欢坐在周围的朋友他们的收音机，收听新闻和音乐。
We hope that your friendship with 0rlando will be an unforgettable experience and that hearing from Fernando will give you an opportunity to learn about another culture far away. We look forward to writing to you again about Orlando and his family's progress and achievements.
我们希望你们的友谊，0rlando将是一段难忘的经历，听到费尔南多会给你一个机会去了解另一种文化远。我们期待你再次写关于他和家人的进步和成就。
Yours sincerely,
你真诚的，
Rosanna Chulco
