回到主題吧,我的公益活動選擇的對象是贊助一個讓成千上萬條無家可歸的狗和貓的非營利性質的機構叫做Nevada Humane Society, 請你點擊鏈接查看這機構的有關資料。你要問怎樣出力?我自己的方式是我每個月定期地捐助,數字不大,但積少成多,快一年了,當每個月看到郵寄給我的email,感謝我的monthly recurring donation has been deducted from my credit card,我心中有一種說不出的高興。 如果你選擇一次性地或長期地捐助10塊20塊的,可以在那裡完成,如果你通過這個initiative,喚起了你對成千上萬個無家可歸的動物的愛心從而收留動物或向你們當地的相關組織貢獻出你的愛心,這也是我喜歡看到滴。如果你在這裡聽到我的歌,聽我的琴,看我的舞蹈,觀看我製作的視頻,能夠感動到你一點點的話,也希望你記住我辦《老地雷歌友會》的宗旨,把你的愛心獻一點點給我們人類最好的朋友。
