They are children of the stars. They are not deaf, but they sometimes fail to notice information from outside. They are not blind, but they sometimes have no eye connect with people around them. They are not dumb(哑的), but they sometimes don’t speak to anyone. They are autistic(自闭症的) children, living alone in their own world.

This winter holiday, I took part in a public activity about autism with my classmates from Feb 17 to 18. The moment we stepped into the autism center, I was shocked by what I saw. With their heads hanging down, most children stayed silent, paying no attention to what was going on. When we introduced ourselves, they didn't look up at us until their parents had reminded them to do so again and again. At that time, I knew that they would need a great deal of attention.

To my surprise, when they were doing outdoor activities, the kids were energetic and active. Whether they were doing morning exercises or playing games, every child wore a shining smile on his or her face. We played the games “The eagle catches the chickens' and” “The fisherman”, which brought us closer than before. The children started to look at us with curious eyes and began to communicate with us. In art classes, they even actively pulled our fingers and pointed to their pieces of paper.

During our two days of activities, we not only played with these autistic children, but also made every effort to help them. Our group members found as much information as possible on the Internet and discussed every possible way in which we could enter their hearts. What's more, in order to improve their living conditions,we made an online donation(捐赠). I felt the seed(种子)of love blooming in me when I received money from others.

Children from the stars need special attention. Let's do our best to understand them.

Each country has many kind people who volunteer to take care of others. For example, some high school and university students in the US often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals or old people’s homes. They read books for the people or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.

Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of the sick people. They clean up their houses or do the shopping. For boys who don’t have fathers there is an organization called “Big Brothers”. University students and other people take these boys to play baseball games and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

Each city has a lot of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or take part in other activities. Some of these clubs show movies or have short trips to the mountains, the beaches or the museums. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and university students as volunteers because they can understand the problems of these boys and girls more easily.

Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

The Red Cross is an international organization. It cares for people who are in need of help. A man in Paris hospital needs blood, a woman in Mexico hurt in an earthquake and a family in India lost their home in a storm. All of them may be helped by the Red Cross. The Red Cross is in almost every country around the world. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent（新月）. All of these agencies（机构）share a common goal of trying to help people in need. The idea of forming such an organization started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he saw how people weresufferingduring the war in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded （受伤害的） people regardless of（无论）which side they were fighting for. The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the people, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid and providing blood.
