D Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

I’d always dreamed of visiting Africa, ever since I read my first Tarzan(人猿泰山)comic as a child. Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60^th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari(东非游猎) and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania’s Minister of Water and Wildlife Development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I arrived at the school, I was shocked. The dirt floors turned into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn’t keep out the heat, cold or bugs(小昆虫). The school was in need of all material goods.

It broke my heart that these children had to try hard to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got him, I founded(成立)Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 school children in Tanzania every day. The free lunch program has solved an essential problem the children face.

I know a good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always told me the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and business people. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education.

It’s amazing that something as simple as a hot lunch can change so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can encourage them to go all the way through college and lead a change in thier country.
