【推荐1】At most high schools in the US, students are asked to have a certain number of community service(服务) hours each year. At my school, 40 service hours are asked by the time we graduate (毕业). I volunteer at an organization named the Book Truck.
The Book Truck goes to communities and areas with underserved(服务资源匮乏的) teenagers and invites them to choose from all kinds of books. This is a non-profit charity service, which means that the people who run it don’t make money from providing this service.
I have volunteered at the Book Truck for a few years. Once or twice a month, we take a van filled with new books and give them to poor teenagers because they can’t easily get books. Being well-read is useful to improve the writing, speaking and thinking skills of teens, and help them to go further in life. I am happy that I am able to help someone in my community to become a reader.
I am also a member of the Teen Council of the Book Truck, which makes decisions on organizing events. Recently, my friend Justine—who is also a Teen Council member—and I have started to run an Instagram account(账号) for it. We want to make the organization more popular. We believe that more people will join us.

When things around the house stop working, what do you usually do with them? If you’re like a lot of people, you probably just throw them away.
In some areas, it’s difficult to find people who can make repairs, and fixing things can be quite expensive. Also, some small objects are so inexpensive that it’s often easier to just buy a new one.
In 2009, Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there must be a better way. Her solution was Repair Cafes: places where people can take broken items. There they will find tools, resources and volunteer experts who are ready to help with repairs.
Postma’s first Repair Cafe opened on Oct. 18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News of the cafe spread, and people began asking how they could start their own. In 2011, Postma set up the Repair Cafe Foundation. This nonprofit organization provides guidance to those hoping to begin their own neighbourhood repair group.
Today, there are about 2,000 Repair Cafes around the world with meetings usually taking place once a month. Around 25 objects are repaired during each meeting. Everything is free, but donations are greatly welcome.
The cafes not only provide help with repairs, they also strengthen community ties. Neighbours get to know one another as they work together on projects. Moreover, valuable knowledge is passed along and preserved. Items are kept rather than thrown away, meaning less rubbish in landfills.

Sosina Challa lives in Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚), in eastern Africa. When she was about 16, she and her friends saw a group of boys skateboarding (滑板运动) in a parking lot. “I used to watch skateboarding in the movies,” Challa said. “But I never got the chance to try.” That changed one day. “I just asked if I could try to skate,” she says. “It was fun!”
At the time, skateboarding was still something new in Ethiopia and it was mainly played by boys, just as it is today. But Challa was crazy about it. She wanted more girls to experience skateboarding, so in 2020, she teamed up with her friend Micky Asfaw to start a club called Ethiopian Girl Skaters (EGS). Since then, the club has provided free skateboarding lessons to more than 150 girls and young women. It brought more than just athletic benefits. “It’s not just about skateboarding,” she says. “We try to build a community.”
EGS lessons take place on Saturdays, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at Addis Skatepark. Each class has about 35 students. “You get skating lessons and friendship and family,” skater Kenan Menasse said. “That’s the best.”
“When I started skateboarding,” Challa says, “there were no girls actively taking part in the skate community because of the old customs.” In traditional Ethiopian society, she explains, girls are expected to stay at home and help their parents. “The sport is for everyone,” she tells parents who hesitate (犹豫) to let their daughters join the club.
“It’s not just what we give them,” Challa says about EGS and its members. “Everyone in the community helps each other. That’s how we try to build our sistership.”
