On March 15, many people in the UK wore a plastic red nose. It wasn’t just for fun. They were also raising money to fight poverty (貧窮) in the UK and Africa.

This day is called Red Nose Day. It is a huge charity event in the UK every other year. On this day, people do something funny for money. You might play tricks in the street to make people laugh if they pay. Or your friend might sit in a bathtub full of tomato sauce for an entire day. People do these things to raise money.

Besides Red Nose Day, there are many other creative ways to help people in need around the world.

Many charity organizations run charity shops in Western counties. The shops sell second-hand goods donated by the public such as books and clothes. Many young people love these shops. They can often afford the clothes there. The first modern charity shop was opened by UK Oxfam in 1948 and is still in business. In total, the UK has more than 10,200 charity shops.

Another way is for famous people to hold concerts. They can usually raise much money for charity. For example, the Irish singer Bob Geldof and Scottish musician Midge Ure organized the Live 8 concerts in 2005. The theme was poverty in Africa. There were 10concerts in different cities at the same time. Over 1,000 musicians performed to ask people to give their names if they donate money, which they made into a “Live 8 list”.

In China, there are many charity organizations as well. For example, the Red Cross of China helps people during disasters. The Love Without Boundaries (邊界) helps China’s orphans (孤兒).
