圣诞节是个欢快的时光，对孩子们来说尤其如此。家人团聚在一起，互赠礼物、分享美食。但是，对无家可归的孩子来说，圣诞节可能是一个悲伤的日子。

When Clarence Adams applied for a job as a counselor at a New Orleans homeless shelter 16 years ago, he knew very little about homelessness.
16年前，当克莱伦斯·亚当斯在新奥尔良无家可归者庇护中心申请一个顾问职位时，他对无家可归几乎没有任何概念。
"After the interview, they gave me a tour in the building and it was lunch time," Adams says. "And I saw children there. That really bothered me.(2)__________________________________."
他说：“面试后，他们领我在庇护中心里参观了一圈，那时正好是午饭时间。我看到那些孩子，觉得非常难过。”
Adams got the job and took it upon himself to help the kids coming to the shelter in any way he could. He went with their parents to register them for school and organized donation drives for school supplies. One day as the holidays neared, he talked to a friend about what it might be like for homeless children to celebrate Christmas.
亚当斯得到了那份工作，他开始把帮助无家可归的孩子们当作自己的责任。他和孩子家长一起去学校注册，组织为孩子们捐献学习用品的慈善活动。一年的圣诞节前，他和一个朋友谈论无家可归的孩子们是如何过圣诞节的。
