Adam Braun set up the organization (组织) Pencils of Promise in 2008. Its goal is to make sure all children can go to school. Now, Pencils of Promise is building a new school somewhere every 90 hours. It has helped more than 22,000 children in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Adam Bruan had this idea of helping poor children go to school when he was a college student. He was visiting India when a boy stopped him and asked for money on the street. Mr. Bruan asked the boy what he would want, if he could have anything in the world.

“I thought the answer was going to be ‘a house’ or ‘a car’ or ‘a boat’. His answer was ‘a pencil’. So I gave him my pencil and he was just happy and excited. His answer made me understand the truth that he had never been to school before, and that was also the real life for 57 million children around the world,” Bruan said.

Adam Bruan started working in finance (金融) after he finished college. But he never forgot the boy and the true life for the poor children.

“We live in a world in which every child should have a chance(机会) to go to school, because we already have everything we need to give them good education. We are able to educate every child. So I decided to help change that world,” Bruan said.

Mr. Bruan collected money for his project. He paid for building the first Pencils of Promise school in Laos five years ago. Since then, his organization has helped pay for more than 200 schools in the countryside of Laos, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Ghana.
