27、I am connected to many people working as volunteers all over the world, even after COVID-19 broke out.
Twelve days ago, I was contacted by someone I know, a person from Kenya. He shared a story about his work for kindness and joy. In his sharing, I discovered his family and other families had no food since March 23 because of lockdown(禁闭).
For one day I was grief-stricken for them. I mean, how could I, in North Carolina, possibly do anything to help feed a man and 50 people on the other side of the world? After a sleepless night I awoke with clarity to give money to these families. It was not a lot of money, but all that I had and I was determined to find a way to get the funds to Kenya from the US. Luckily, I succeeded in the end. My friend has been able to make the money go far buying corn, oil, fruit, and vegetables to feed 20 adults and 30 children. And now they have food.
Each day presents a new problem. Many more people in other countries in Africa have reached out to me asking for help. It is heartbreaking. I cannot help everyone with money but I am determined to help everyone I can with telling their stories through our column Global Storytellers for Kindness on our website. I asked my friend for a list of the children in his family. So now I sit with a list of 30 names, ages, and school years, wondering what on earth we can do for these children. Each night I sleep with a question and hope my dreams will give me guidance during my awake time.
Each day is filled with problems and difficulties I could never have imagined, and also thoughts, actions, and ideas that are blossoming to extend love and mercy between many humans.

28、When I learned that a psychology class designed to teach students how to become happier was available online to anyone who wanted to take it, I decided to see what it was about. After taking the course, I believe that anyone who follows the suggestions can truly become happier.
【1】
Increase social connections.
Talking with a friend face to face will make you happier.【2】 My boyfriend loves chatting with waiters, and I notice that he always wears a wide and happy smile after having a meaningful talking with them. Actually, many studies have found that the more social media, the less happy you are.
【3】
Volunteering to help someone or buying a coffee for the person behind you in line can make you happier, because helping others takes the focus away from our own worries and problems, which can increase happiness. 【4】 If you perform the same act of kindness over and over, it may begin to feel like a duty.
Burn some calories.
Exercise causes hormonal (荷尔蒙的) changes in the body that make you feel good and avoid negative thoughts. 【5】 And after ten months, they are less likely to be depressed (沮丧) again.
A.Buy someone a coffee.
B.Perform acts of kindness.
C.My favorite tips are as follows.
D.However, changing your way is very important.
E.But a meaningful meeting with a stranger also works.
F.As is reported, it is of great importance to exercise regularly.
G.A research shows that depressed people exercising regularly improve a lot.
29、 When you felt thankful, you can consider writing a thank - you note. It’s a good way to show and share your gratitude. The person you are writing will be happy to know that their actions made a difference. 【1】
Use a greeting.
【2】 It addresses the person who is being written to. “Dear…” is a popular greeting. You might want to use this if you’re writing to a teacher, a caregiver or another grown - up. If you’re writing a note to a friend or classmate, you can use a casual greeting, such as “ Hello …” “ Hi …”.
【3】
In a thank you note, it’s a good idea to get right to your point! Begin your letter with a sentence that states that you are thankful and what you are thankful for. Here are a few ideas for how to begin this first sentence: “Thank you so much for…” “I am grateful for. . .” “I want to express my gratitude for... ”
Be specific.
After you’ve explained what you are grateful for, use details. Specific examples will help explain why you are grateful. The details here will depend on your own experience. The most important part is sharing how the person’s behavior made you feel. It’s okay to be brief! You don’t have to write pages and pages. 【4】
Use a complimentary close.
Sign off with a complimentary close. That’s the word or phrase that appears right before your signature at the bottom of a letter. Popular closings include “Sincerely,” “Warm Wishes” and “With Gratitude. ”
Finally, double - check that there are no errors. 【5】 Once your note is on its way to the reader, you can just enjoy the good feelings that follow when you practice gratitude.
