He was believed to have been born on April 16, 1889. There is some doubt
whether April 16 is actually his birthday, and it is possible he was not born
in 1889. There is also uncertainty about his birthplace: London or
Fontainebleau, France. There is no doubt, however, as to his parentage: he
was born to Charles Chaplin, Sr. and Hannah Harriette Hill (aka Lily Harley
on stage), both Music Hall entertainers. His parents separated soon after
his birth, leaving him in the care of his increasingly unstable mother.
In 1896, Chaplin's mother was unable to find work; Charlie and his older
half-brother Sydney Chaplin had to be left in the workhouse at Lambeth,
moving after several weeks to Hanwell School for Orphans and Destitute
Children. His father died an alcoholic when Charlie was 12, and his mother
suffered a mental breakdown, and was eventually admitted temporarily to
the Cane Hill Asylum at Coulsdon (near Croydon). She died in 1928 in the
United States, two years after coming to the States to live with Chaplin,
by then a commercial success.
Charlie first took to the stage when, aged five, he performed in Music Hall
in 1894, standing in for his mother. As a child, he was confined to a bed for
weeks due to a serious illness, and, at night, his mother would sit at the
window and act out what was going on outside. In 1900, aged 11, his
brother helped get him the role of a comic cat in the pantomime Cinderella
at the London Hippodrome. In 1903 he appeared in 'Jim, A Romance of
Cockayne', followed by his first regular job, as the newspaper boy Billy in
Sherlock Holmes, a part he played into 1906. This was followed by Casey's
'Court Circus' variety show, and, the following year, he became a clown in
Fred Karno's 'Fun Factory' slapstick comedy company.
According to immigration records, he arrived in the United States with the
Karno troupe on October 2, 1912. In the Karno Company was Arthur
Stanley Jefferson, who would later become known as Stan Laurel. Chaplin
and Laurel shared a room in a boarding house. Stan Laurel returned to
England but Chaplin remained in the United States. Chaplin's act was seen
by film producer Mack Sennett, who hired him for his studio, the Keystone
Film Company.

Summarize this text
“Many thousands of Chinese are studying at schools in the United States. And writer
Liel Leibovitz says the students are following an example that began in the eighteen
seventies.
Mr. Leibovitz and writer Matthew Miller joined forces to tell the story of the students
in their book, “Fortunate Sons.” The book says China sent one hundred twenty boys
to America to learn about developments that could help modernize their country.”

“Illiteracy is a problem in many of the world’s poorest countries. Even in wealthier
nations like the United States, many children struggle with reading and writing. But
in 19 cities across the country [United States], the volunteers of Experience Corps
are helping youngsters learn to read. The volunteers, all over 50, work with students
in low-income areas.” (Older Volunteers Help Children Learn to Read, Voice of
America, voanews.com)
“Women entrepreneurs in the developing world often face challenges that limit their
chances for success and growth. They often have less access to education than men
and have difficulty getting financing on their own. But with an understanding of the
essential aspects of doing business – such as planning, financing, networking and
marketing – they can overcome those obstacles. That's where the 10,000 Women
Initiative comes in. As Faiza Elmasry tells us, it's an investment in education with
dividends that benefit the businesswomen, their local communities and their
national economies.” (Goldman Sachs invests in Educating Women in Business,
