According to Together We Rise, every day, 1,200 kids enter foster care in the United States, a life that is often filled with stigma and uncertainty. To combat this, TWR brings together volunteers to help kids in foster care, and to encourage families to adopt. What's most surprising, however, is how young all the volunteers are.

Together We Rise表示：美国每天有1200名儿童进入孤儿院，而在那儿的生活往往充满着欺辱和不确定性。为了改善这种境况，TWR联合志愿者一起来帮助孤儿院的孩子们，而且TWR还鼓励家庭收养孩子。然而，最令人惊讶的是，所有的志愿者都很年轻。

"In 2008, TWR was founded by college students after one of their classmates discovered that their 9 year-old cousin was living in a car," explains TWR. "They wanted to do something but they came across some obstacles because they were all under the age of 21. Government agencies denied their help due to Federal regulations. There were no organizations like TWR that welcomed young people to join their efforts."

“2008年，大学生们成立了TWR，在那之前，他们的一位同学发现他9岁的表弟在一辆汽车中生活，”TWR解释道。“他们想做点什么，但是遇到了一些障碍，因为他们都不到21岁。由于联邦法规的规定，政府拒绝了他们的帮助。没有像TWR那样欢迎年轻人加入、大家共同努力的组织。”

Two years ago, TWR started to post pictures of newly adopted kids to Facebook and Instagram. The response was tremendous. See some of their happy photos below!

两年前，TWR开始在Facebook和Instagram上公布新近被收养的孩子的图片。收到的答复非常惊人。一起来看看下面他们幸福的样子吧！
