過去簡單式

A year ago, we visited a rural village in Zambia where there was no electricity, limited water, high crime rates, and countless other issues making life a constant struggle for these kids and staff.

一年前，我們訪問了尚比亞的一個農村，那裡沒有電、水源有限、犯罪率高，還有數不清的其他問題，使得這些孩子和工作人員的生活一直在掙扎。

But despite the seemingly hopeless situation, there was someone doing everything she could to help these children.

儘管情況看似毫無希望，但還是有人在竭盡全力幫助這些孩子。

Five years ago, she moved to Mapapa along with four adopted children and started making TikTok videos to raise money to build a school and village for kids in desperate need.

五年前，她帶著四個收養的孩子搬到了馬帕帕，並開始製作 TikTok 視頻來籌集資金，為亟需幫助的孩子們修建學校和村莊。

And very quickly, her account grew to over 4 million followers.

很快，她的賬戶就有了 400 多萬粉絲。

And she now cares for almost 400 children.

現在，她照顧著近 400 名兒童。

But despite her best efforts, the cost of supporting all these kids is an ongoing challenge and threat to their community.

儘管她盡了最大努力，但供養所有這些孩子的費用是一個持續的挑戰，也是對他們社區的威脅。

So we immediately got to work alongside our partners from Give Power to build a solar array that would provide the village with much needed electricity and security.

是以，我們立即與我們的合作伙伴--"給力"（Give Power）--合作，建造了一個太陽能電池陣，為村莊提供急需的電力和安全保障。

And for many of the children, this was the first time they saw light at night.

對許多孩子來說，這是他們第一次在夜晚看到光明。

But when we left the village, we realized that there was so much more that needed to be done.

但當我們離開村莊時，我們意識到需要做的事情還有很多。

We were so moved by Dora and the kids that we committed to double our contribution.

我們被朵拉和孩子們深深感動，承諾將我們的捐款增加一倍。

To give Dora the resources she needs to give these kids a loving and safe environment.

為朵拉提供她所需的資源，為這些孩子們提供一個充滿愛和安全的環境。

By tripling her solar generation capacity.

Doing a full hydrological study to provide a proper well with plenty of clean, safe water.

進行全面的水文研究，以提供充足、乾淨、安全的水源。

Install a state-of-the-art internet network and so much more.

And because of your incredible support, we were able to kick off this massive project by constructing a well.

正是因為有了你們的大力支持，我們才得以建造一口水井，拉開了這一大型項目的序幕。

And this is just the first of so many things we will be doing in this video.

這只是我們在本視頻中要做的眾多事情中的第一件。

For so many of the children, this is the first time that they will have fresh drinking water.

對於許多孩子來說，這是他們第一次喝到新鮮的飲用水。

現在，它正源源不斷地流淌著。

But sadly, there was one child who couldn't join in on the fun, because she was still recovering from an injury.

但遺憾的是，有一個孩子因為受傷還在恢復中，沒能參加這次活動。

So the last time that Dan and Doran were here, they were made aware about a girl called Beauty.

上次丹和多蘭來的時候，他們知道了一個叫 "美人 "的女孩。

When she came to us, she was a very shy, timid girl.

當她來到我們身邊時，她是一個非常害羞、膽小的女孩。

One of her legs had gangrene and was about to be amputated.

她的一條腿已經壞疽，即將被截肢。

We told Dora that we would take whatever steps were necessary to save Beauty's leg.

我們告訴朵拉，我們會採取一切必要的措施來挽救美美的腿。

We got the pictures and we got the treatment protocol.

And we sent them to our friends at Cure International.

我們把它們寄給了 Cure International 的朋友們。

From the video we did in Philippines, who also operate a hospital in Zambia.

這是我們在菲律賓拍攝的視頻，他們還在尚比亞營運一家醫院。

They told us that it was very likely that Beauty was going to lose her leg.

他們告訴我們，美美很可能會失去一條腿。

But if we didn't act immediately, there was a good chance that she would lose her life.

但如果我們不立即採取行動，她很有可能會失去生命。

And despite the dismal odds, they promised to do everything that they possibly could to save Beauty's leg.

儘管機會渺茫，但他們承諾會盡一切可能挽救美美的腿。

We stayed at the hospital for three months.

While Beauty was in the hospital, the team back in Mapapa made incredible progress with the rest of the construction.

在美美住院期間，馬帕帕的團隊在其他工程方面取得了令人難以置信的進展。

They have such a great environment for kids.

他們為孩子們提供了非常好的環境。

And they just took her out of that shell of fear and just told her to say, hey, you'll be okay.

他們把她從恐懼的陰影中拉了出來，告訴她說，嘿，你會沒事的。

It's been an amazing experience to kind of see her transform into what she is now.

看到她蛻變成現在的樣子，這真是一次奇妙的經歷。

A few weeks after her final surgery, Beauty was able to leave the hospital.

最後一次手術幾周後，Beauty 可以出院了。

She just slowly changed into this bubbly, fun, talkative girl.

她慢慢變成了一個活潑、有趣、健談的女孩。

I'm able to feed all the kids here through my videos on social media, but that was a big challenge for me to do because I had to drive about an hour and a half away from where I live almost each day to buy the food that we have.

我通過社交媒體上的視頻養活了這裡的所有孩子，但這對我來說是一個很大的挑戰，因為我幾乎每天都要開車到一個半小時以外的地方購買食物。

Since our last visit, when we saw how old and unreliable Dora's car was, I'd been really concerned that she had break down on the remote as cell phone coverage.

自從我們上次來過之後，當我們看到朵拉的車是多麼的老舊和不可靠時，我真的很擔心她會因為手機信號覆蓋而在遙遠的地方拋錨。

My worst fears were realized one morning when I was woken up by a message from Dora telling me that she had just been in a wreck and her car was totaled.

我最擔心的事情發生了，一天早上，我被朵拉的一條資訊吵醒，她告訴我她剛出了車禍，車子全毀了。

Darren wasted no time and quickly jumped on a call with her.

達倫沒有浪費時間，很快就和她通了電話。

I think that this is a sign that we better buy you a new car right now.

我認為這是一個信號，我們最好現在就給你買一輛新車。

With her new car, Dora can now travel to get food for the village without any worry of breaking down and being left stranded.

有了新車，朵拉就可以為村子裡的人運送食物了，再也不用擔心汽車拋錨或被困在村子裡了。

Just a few weeks later, the construction was almost complete and Dan and Darren were on their way to Mapapa to see just how much the village has changed since their last visit.

幾周後，工程基本完工，丹和達倫正準備前往馬帕帕，看看這個村莊自上次來訪後發生了多大變化。

Dan and Darren are about to return and I'm super excited to show them all the amazing things that have been happening at the school because of them.

丹和達倫馬上就要回來了，我非常高興能向他們展示學校因他們而發生的所有令人驚歎的事情。

Reuniting with Dora and the kids after nearly a year was a truly magical experience.

與朵拉和孩子們時隔近一年後再次團聚，真是一次神奇的經歷。

After receiving a warm welcome by the kids, Dora showed Dan and Darren around the well.

受到孩子們的熱烈歡迎後，朵拉帶丹和達倫參觀了水井。

We now have clean drinking water and because of that, the kids' confidence has risen.

我們現在有了乾淨的飲用水，孩子們的自信心也是以提高了。

Where they sleep, their clothes, everything, their confidence has just grown up because they are in a clean, safe environment.

他們睡覺的地方、他們的衣服、他們的一切，他們的自信心都在增長，因為他們處在一個乾淨、安全的環境中。

With clean water, the village is now far more self-sufficient.

有了乾淨的水，村子現在自給自足的能力大大增強。

Dora is cultivating a chicken coop and even sustained a fish pond to provide food for the kids.

為了給孩子們提供食物，朵拉正在修建一個雞舍，甚至還維持了一個魚塘。

And on top of that, we also provided Dora and the kids a commercial gas stove so they no longer have to burn through bags of charcoal for cooking.

除此之外，我們還為朵拉和孩子們提供了一個商用瓦斯爐，這樣他們就不用再用大包小包的木炭做飯了。

But there was one more thing that was severely impacting Dora's ability to take care of these kids.

但還有一件事嚴重影響了朵拉照顧這些孩子的能力。

In order to upload a TikTok, Dora would have to stand for hours holding her pole up to get an internet connection.

為了上傳 TikTok，朵拉不得不舉著杆子站上幾個小時，以獲得網絡連接。

But now with the new That has literally been installed today and I am super happy and super excited about that.

但現在，新設備今天已經安裝完畢，我對此感到非常高興和興奮。

We can connect to eat together for the first time.

我們可以第一次連在一起吃飯。

But you are going out and then he will follow.

但你要出去，他也會跟著出去。
