Dear Blank,

亲爱的 ——————：

To let you know that I am thinking of you on this special day, I have purchased a gift from the World’s Most Useful Gifts catalogue in your name for some of the world’s poorest people.

在这个特别的日子，为表达我的挂念，我以你的名义，在“世上最实用礼物”项目中，为世界上部分贫困人群捐赠了一份礼物。

This gift will train a small community in India, Kenya, or Bangladesh in new agricultural methods, and it will provide seeds and simple agricultural equipment.

这份捐助会为印度、肯尼亚或者孟加拉国的小型社区开展新型农业技术培训，同时提供种子和简易农具。

Just 20% more produce will mean the difference between sickness and health, and between families going hungry and families providing for themselves.

仅仅提升20%的农作物产量，就会带来巨大改变：告别病痛，收获健康；家庭不再挨饿，能够自给自足。

From Blank,
