1.We don't see many 17-year-old who can list as many accomplishments(成就) as Eduardo Caiado.
Edu,as he likes to be called,lives in Anapolis,Brazil.He's always been driven to help others.In fact,when he was just 15,he was named one of the 50 Young Inspirers of the United Nations for his project on reusing(1)
to provide drinking water in a village.He also bought gifts for 52 people living in a local nursing home,(2)
his own money.
These are all totally natural for Edu,who says he's been(3)
trying to help others for most of his life.But right now he centers on saving stray(走失的) animals.
Since he was 9,he's dreamed of the day he could open a(4)
for the many lost or forgotten pets he's seen.Less than ten years later,he(5)
that dream a reality by starting the EduPacoca Institute!
"The place where I live is cold,and many stray dogs were dying of(6)
cold," he said.The EduPacoca Institute depends on(7)
to help these animals in need.First,Edu rented a house;now,he's using the money to(8)
food and other expenses. "I want these animals to know that even if they don't have owners,they will be with me until they grow old and die." he said.
After years of feeding animals on the streets,Edu understands that while they're not human,animals have feelings of their own.Each has their own habits,(9)
,and preferences,and Edu loves getting to know them.
He's already given about 30 dogs and cats a home,and the number keeps growing every day!His only regret is that he doesn't have enough room or money to(10)
every stray.
