Charity is a billion-dollar business in developed countries. It is the short from for charitable trust( 信托 ), foundation （基金会） or corporation set up entirely for charitable purposes. These are set up for specific purposes, such as curing diseases, providing goods or services for people or areas lacking them, nature conservation, and many others.

1. It was prejudice time. Some of the children we encountered stared, pointed, and laughed; adults gave us long, doubting looks. Clerks in stores followed our track to watch our every move. In a lunchroom a second assistant hurried to the side of the cashier, where they took my $2 check without asking for ID; it seemed worth that price to have us out the door. At one doorway a clerk physically blocked the entrance apparently to discourage our

entry.

2. So what did we learn? Mostly what we expected, what everybody knows: people judge by appearances. Just looking poor brings with it prejudice, accompanied by removal of much of the social grace most of us take for granted. Lacking the culturally acceptable symbols of belonging in this setting, we became, to a degree, objects, with

less inherent dignity as persons.
