One day I would want to see no more homeless people in the world. I have seen a lot of people who are homeless. I have always wanted to help them and I finally got the chance. My friend in London said she knew someone who helps people in the Kibera slum in Kenya. So she sent me cards that the women in Kibera slum had made to sell to people. I sold the cards at my school and church. I sold 300 cards and raised ¥75,000. My mom and dad sent the money to Kibera slum. Soon a lot of the people had clothes, food and money. Then my parents spoke with my London friend who said “I will five you 2,000 cards to sell”. I woke up the next morning and my mom told me the good news. Then bigger news! Another person was going to sell the cards with me! So she will sell 1,000 cards and I will sell 1,000 cards. Over the summer, I wish I could go to Kibera slum and see how everything is going. I am imagining all the people getting clean water, food and clothes from a close town. All the children will be able to go to school, they will learn to write and read. So my solution will help make people happy and grateful in their hearts. They would be proud that they made the cards to help others in the country.
So that is my solution
