After several days, we learned about a   3  from a little child called Juan. In his letter, he   4  some blankets and some clothes and also wanted somebody to help his father   5  the house because it was in bad   6  .
We told the radio station that we wanted to  7 Juan. After that, we started to think about how to  8 all the money to buy all that Juan  9  . After 5 days, we collected much money and bought many things for Juan. We   10 bought some toys as a little   11  for Juan.
  12 , on December 22 the radio station gave a party in which all the children who asked for help were   13  , and all those helping these children.
In the party we  14  Juan. We played some games with him and gave him the   15   we prepared for hm. He was very excited and happy, so were my   16  and I.
That day was one of the most   17  days in my life, and I learned something   18  from it. Giving help to those in need is one of the most meaningful things that you can do   19   this makes you feel good and also makes the persons who you are helping   20 .
