A short time ago, a park in Selwood, England looked terrible. The lake water was dirty, the seats were broken and the place was full of rubbish.
But now the park looks quite different, thanks to Michael Chambers, a 16-year-old student. Michael started a group called Park Rescue. Volunteers of the group used their free time to clean the park. They took away the rubbish and started cleaning the lake. They fixed a lot of seats and bought some new tables. They also planted some flowers and 60 young trees.
Michael told people what they were doing in the park through the newspaper. In six months, about 120 more people joined Park Rescue. The group also organized concerts and raised money in the street. With these activities and with the help of some warm-hearted people, they have raised over ￡4,000.
“Birds start to come back to the park. The long-closed restaurant is going to open soon and that will be great. The park is becoming a place that people can enjoy,” Michael says. “But we still have more work to do. We want to make a skate-boarding area. And now we need some advice about cleaning the lake. ”

Good morning, everyone!
I’m Li Hua. Last week, my classmates and I volunteered at a nursing home. First, we cleaned the rooms and watered plants. Besides, we chatted with the elderly, sang songs, and even taught them simple exercises. It was a meaningful experience.
Why did we do this I believe helping others is the best way to help ourselves. By caring for the elderly, we learned patience and responsibility. What’s more, their smiles made us realize the joy of giving.
In my opinion, volunteering brings a strong feeling of satisfaction. It connects us with people in need and makes our world warmer. Let’s continue to spread kindness!
