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(脚支架) 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.”
