Question

【題目】 Dan Austin is a writer and filmmaker. He is “saving” the world, giving away one bike at a time. In 2006, Austin and his brother started an organization called 88Bikes. It's non-profit group that delivers bikes to kids in need around the world for free. In less than four years, the group has given away nearly 800 bikes in seven different countries.

What difference can one bike make? A big one, says Austin. Many of the children who have received bikes from88 Bikes live in faraway areas and in orphanages（孤兒院） Having bike gives the kids a safe and quick way to get to school. It also means freedom for a young person, and the happiness that bike can bring is just more important than anything else, Austin explains. ‘This may also be favorable to their study because being happy they are likely to learn more.” Austin adds.

Austin and his brother thought of the idea for 88Bikes in an outing. They once went to Cambodia by bike. After the ride, they decided to give away their bikes to an orphanage in the city of Phnom Penh. “But then we realized there were 88 kids in the orphanage,” Austin says. “We wanted to help the other 86 kids, too.” So, they set up the group as well as a website for donations. Four days later, there was enough money to buy more than enough bikes.

Along with the bikes, all of the children receive hats, bike locks and shoes. They also receive photos of the donors（捐贈(zèng)人）. “We want them to know that there is somebody across the ocean that always cares about them,” Austin says. A world map is put on the back of the photo which shows where the donors live. The donors also receive pictures of the kids and their new bikes.
