A man in Pakistan is now working to help children get an education. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.
It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the secondhighest number in the world. Only Nigeria has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.
Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.
Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, "Why don't you go to school?" The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.
Ayub was also an orphan and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, "When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral said they were sorry, but no one helped." He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.
Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy's school fees.
Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.
Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.
Ayub said," I used to argue with kids who worked ' Why are you washing someone's dishes or their clothes? Why don't you study? ' "
One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. "He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school, "Abbas said.
Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.
Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education. Information gathered by an organization shows half of all Pakistani children in the 5th grade do not understand basic mathematics and cannot read a story in their language.
A group in Islamabad reports Pakistan spends less on education than any other country in South Asia.

You love reading, but you've read all your books four times, and are tired of reading the same ones. You're planning to go to the library, but don't know what kind of books to get. With the right knowledge, it's easy to choose a good book!
Answer these questions first. What authors do you like? Research books by the authors you've enjoyed, and you can get more of the same type of books. What are your interests? Type your hobbies into your library catalog search. By doing this, you will find books that you might like. Is there a type of book you would like to try? If there is, search the book and read the summary. This will help you decide if the book is right for you.
Search your house next. Often good books are quietly collecting dust in your own house. Maybe you forget about one, or someone who is living with you has a couple of good books. Also by searching your house, you can find some books that you can read, and they won't even cost you any money.
Then, ask someone to recommend a good book. You can ask your older brother or sister, your mom, your dad, your best friend, or even your English teacher. Local bookstores often have wonderful recommendations. And when they get to know you, it's even better! You should ask people who like the same type of books, so that you can get books that match your need.
Join a book club, please. Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members. Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that others have read and discuss them.
Finally, read the first part of each book. Of course, if you have many books, this can be time-consuming. Reading the first part of a book can help you know what books and types of books that you like, and you won't have a hard time looking for books again.

The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo -- a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products, logos, and events.
These funny logos are made with soap bubbles （肥皂泡） mixed with a little helium gas （氦气） ,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.
Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.
Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.
