It’s 2023 now. Orion Jean is a fourth-grader and he likes giving. Three years ago, Orion donated(捐赠) toys to a children’s hospital. He made others take part in by starting the Race to 500 Toys. He also fought hunger in his community. He worked with two social organizations(社会组织). Together, they collected more than 100,000 meals.

Orion’s other hobby is reading. The Race to 500,000 Books joined the things he cares about together. He held book drives(捐书活动) to collect books to share with people who needed them. Orion met his goal. He collected half a million books in just a few months.

Are you inspired by Orion? Would you like to start a book drive in your community? Orion has a few pieces of advice. First, choose a goal. Think about the people you want to help. Then work out the details. Decide how you’ll collect the books. Do you have a place to store them? Think about how you’ll get the books to people in need. Then get your community joined! Ask for help. Remind people of the good change they can make when they work together. And always stay true to your job. If it gets too difficult, just think of those you are trying to help.
