Lots of children give plastic bottle lids to Lids4Kids to be recycled. Lids4Kids volunteers sort them into color categories as a group. The colored lids are divided into 3 groups before being poured into a big machine that mulches them into small flakes. Another machine melts the flakes and extrudes them into a metal mold in the shape of slats for a bench. Volunteers then use carpentry tools to build a colorful bench.

One morning Juliet woke up earlier than usual. She was very excited because today she and her parents, Sergei and Tilly, were going to visit her Uncle Peter's farm. It was her favourite place! They quickly got ready and set off. ‘I can't wait to see all the animals!’ Juliet said happily. ‘Don't worry, you'll see them soon!’ smiled Sergei. Page 2: Meeting the animals At the farm, Uncle Peter was waiting for them at the gate. ‘Hello, Juliet, are you ready for a new adventure?’ - he asked. Juliet quickly ran to the paddock where her new friends were waiting: Milka the cow, Windy the horse, Clucky the chicken and a little piglet called Snuffle. All the animals were very friendly. ‘Oh, this little piggy is so funny!’ - Juliet laughed. Page 3: The little helper Uncle Peter asked Juliet to help him with the chores. ‘Do you want to feed the chickens?’ he asked. ‘Sure!’ Juliet replied. She took a bucket of grain and began to feed the chickens. They clucked happily, and the little yellow chicks ran after their mother. Juliet was happy to watch them. Juliet enjoyed watching them and felt like a real farmer. Page 4: Riding a horse After lunch, Uncle Peter invited Juliet to ride his horse, Windy. ‘I've always wanted to do that!’ - Juliet said. She climbed on Windy's back and the horse began to trot gently across the green field. Juliet held on to his mane and laughed with delight as the wind blew her hair. Page 5: Returning home After a fun day at the farm, Juliet, Sergei and Tilly said goodbye to Uncle Peter and his animals. ‘This was the best day!’ - Juliet said. ‘Come back again, there are always new adventures waiting for you!’ - said Uncle Peter. They got into the car and drove home, and Juliet dreamed of her next visit to the farm and her new animal friends. P.S. To little Juliet from Iryna - don't rush to grow up:) 11.09.2024

Once upon a time, in the village of Starwood, children were getting ready for a fantastic event-the Junior Olymstar! The Olymstar took place every five years, and only the fastest, strongest, and bravest team could claim victory. In this village, every child had a unique heart mark on their arm known as a "base marker." Boys had a blue heart, and girls had a pink one! Kira's heart was a lovely mix of pink and blue. She was born a girl, yet some perceived her appearance and behavior as more like a boy. Kira felt a sense of difference and confusion, often left on the outside, as if she didn't quite belong. As other children prepared for the village Olympics, Kira remained behind, shy to participate. She thought, "Where do I belong if I'm not just pink or blue?" One day, Coach Jake noticed her and said, "Kira, colors don't decide who we are." People are wonderfully diverse, and everyone has a place, even if they don't fit neatly into a single category. Our village was created on diversity, Kira. Our unique strengths, talents, and ideas bring us closer and make us even better as a team. There's no need to fit into just one category; your uniqueness can bring something wonderful to our team. "In the Olymstar, we will show the world the strength that comes from unity and kindness." Kira reminded us that our differences make us special. At last, Kira found her place, not by being just like everyone else, but by embracing who she truly was. She no longer felt like she didn't belong. Instead, Kira knew her uniqueness was her strength, and she was ready to shine in the Olymstar, just like everyone else. Proud of her unique mark, that made her just right, exactly as she was Being intersex means that a person's body doesn't quite align with the typical concepts of boy or girl Just like colors, everyone has a place here.

The Talking Toy In the small, snowy town of Everpine, Meghan and her friends—Lila, Sam, and Benny—were playing near the park when Meghan spotted something under a bench. It was a small, colorful toy, with red and green stripes and a button in the center. When Meghan pressed it, a soft jingle played, followed by a faint voice: “Help…find…” “Open it!” Sam urged. Meghan shook her head. “No. It’s not ours. Someone’s probably really sad without it.” Her friends groaned, but Meghan was determined. “We’ll find the owner and return it before Christmas,” she declared. The Search Back home, Meghan and her friends made posters that read “FOUND TOY” with a drawing of the object and her number. They wandered the snowy streets, putting up posters and asking neighbors, shopkeepers, and passersby. “Anyone lose a toy?” Benny would ask, holding it up. No one recognized it. By the fourth day, hope dwindled, but Meghan refused to give up. The Grumpy Shopkeeper Outside Suthie’s General Store, the kids hesitated. Mr. Suthie had a reputation for being mean. “We shouldn’t go here,” Sam whispered. “Every place counts,” Meghan said, her voice firm. When Meghan approached the shop’s bulletin board, the door creaked open, and Mr. Suthie appeared. “What are you kids doing?” he barked. Meghan explained nervously. Mr. Suthie frowned but surprised them by saying, “Put it up. Make it neat.” “You’re doing a good thing,” he added, his voice softening. “People don’t care about small things anymore.” The kids were speechless but thanked him before moving on. Finding Ethan Days later, outside the town’s church, they saw a boy staring at the Christmas rehearsal through frosty glass. Meghan approached. “Are you okay?” The boy, Ethan, nodded hesitantly. “I… lost something important.” Meghan held up the toy. “Is this it?” Ethan’s eyes lit up. “It’s mine! My sister made it for me before she moved away.” Meghan pressed the button: Merry Christmas, Ethan!
