Up to now,John has helped 15 children from poor coun-tries all over the world, $ 200 a month for each. The child does not receive the money in cash(现金). The money pays for the child’s school expenses, food, medical care and cloth-ing. John receives a report each year on the child’s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English.
