The Los Angeles Clippers forward gave out more than 1 million backpacks to stu
dents returning to three schools in L.A. this week, including his hometown sch
ool in Moreno Valley Unified. Students at Inglewood Unified and Los Angeles Un
ified school districts also received backpacks in partnership with the L.A. Cl
ippers Foundation and community non-profit Baby2Baby.
可愛今天宣布將捐贈100萬個書包給莫雷諾谷、英格爾伍德市和洛杉磯聯合學區三個南加
州地區的學生,而他也前去三所學校包括他自己以前就讀的小學親自發放,這項善舉由可
愛和快艇基金會以及非營利機構Baby2Baby共同完成。
“My goal this year is to make a meaningful contribution both on and off the c
ourt,” Leonard said in a statement released by the Clippers. “This felt like
the right way to get started. It was important to me to make this announcemen
t in my hometown of Moreno Valley at my former elementary school, but the bene
fits this program will have across all of Los Angeles makes today even more sp
ecial.”
可愛:我今年的目標是在球場內外都做出有意義的貢獻,我覺得這是正確的開始方式。在
我的家鄉莫雷諾谷宣布這個消息對我來說很重要,我以前在那裡上小學,但這個項目將為
整個洛杉磯地區帶來好處,而這也使今天變得更加特別。
The non-profit provides children up to age 12 in poverty with diapers, clothin
g and basic necessities. The gift was intended to reduce stress on low-income
families as children head back to school.
這份禮物的目的在減少孩子重返校園時對低收入家庭的壓力。
It is the largest gift in the history of the Los Angeles Unified School Distri
ct (LAUSD) impacting every student, according to the Clippers. Last year, 80 p
ercent of K-12 students in the district were eligible for free or reduced lunc
h, an indicator of low-income families or those who are homeless.
這是洛杉磯聯合學區所獲得歷史上最大的禮物,影響了每位學生。去年該地區80%的K-12
學生有資格獲得免費或減免午餐,這是低收入家庭或無家可歸者的指標。
Families are constantly struggling with money choices along the lines of payin
g for rent or putting food on the table. Buying back-to-school items falls low
on the list of needs and many students go without a true backpack, instead us
ing a plastic bag.
那些家庭常常為了支付租金或食物的錢煩惱。 購買重返學校所需東西的需求量很少,許
多學生沒有真正的背包,而是使用塑膠袋。
In a statement, co-president Kelly Sawyer Patricof said backpacks are one of t
he most highly requested items for children in the program
背包是這個兒童計劃中需求度最高的東西。
