C. Chengdu Research Base of Giant Pandas D. Panda Lovers Learn About Pandas

Movermber is not a spelling mistake. Moustache+November=Movember! Every year in November, millions of men around the world grow moustaches to raise money for charity and to help people learn about men’s health problems.

If a man wants to take part in the Movember event, her should start with a clean face on November 1st, and then he grows a moustache for the next 30 days. We will call the man a “Mo Bro (short for Moustache Brother)”. He registers(注册) at the website Movember.com and asks his family and friends to sponsor(赞助) him. If you sponsor a Mo Bro, it means you agree to give him money if he keeps his moustache until November 30th.

A Mo Bro is a man. What do you call a woman who donates to the Movember event? A “Mo Sista (sister)”, of course! She can organize Movember parties to collect money, or buy a ticket for one of the Movember parties.

Movember first started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003. The organization has grown quickly over the last ten years and more than 3 million people from 21 different countries have taken part in the event.
