A special kitchen is next to Jiangxi Children’s Hospital in Nanchang. Around meal time, families of the hospital’s patients (病人) use the kitchen to cook food for their loved ones.
The kitchen was a breakfast stall (摊) at first, run by a husband and wife, Wan Zuocheng and Xiong Gengxiang. One day, in 2023, a young woman asked if she could use it to cook food for her son who was in hospital, Wan and Xiong agreed. Later on, they gave cookers to people for free to help them cook for family in hospital. As it’s known to more people, they began to call their breakfast stall “kitchen of love” because in their eyes it was a place to pass on love.
With more and ore people coming and cooking, Wang and Xiong had to turn their stall into a big kitchen while people began to show their willingness to share the costs (费用). Wan and Xiong finally agreed to set a very low price: 1 yuan to cook a dish and 1.5 yuan to cook soup.
Now they are over 60, but to make it easier for others to use the kitchen, they still get up at 4 a.m every day to boil water and cook rice.
Wan and Xiong always listen to patients’ families talking about their experiences because they believe listening to those people’s experiences can make them feel better. Xiong says, “It’s necessary to take medicine when we’re ill, however, 有时候爱比其它任何药物都有效. I feel really happy to run the kitchen and help others.”

The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means one who offers his or her services. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up rubbish from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are usually people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate (幸运的) than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer meant. She worked for two and a half weeks in Calcutta.
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and give out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I didn’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”

At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, attracts a lot of eyes with a beach clean-up activity. On April 20th, 2024, he and many volunteers started a five-week activity to pick up trash from five beaches along the Southern California coast and even some beaches in Mexico.
“The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Ryan told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.” He has collected about 2 million bottles from beaches, lakes and rivers since 2012.
Ryan first learned about the influence of pollution at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC,太平洋海洋哺乳动物中心) in Laguna Beach, which has been saving and protecting sea animals for more than 40 years. Watching sea animals improve inspired him to think about what he could do to help to save them.
From a young age, he has developed a love for recycling. He kept collecting trash and bottles for a long time. One day, Ryan knew from the workers in PMMC that saving sea animals needed money. “Why not sell them?” he thought. In 2017, Ryan handed a $10,000 check (支票) to the PMMC after picking up 50,000 pounds of trash and more than 200,000 recyclable bottles.
Ryan has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for our planet and oceans. He hopes every kid can do something.
He said, “It’s meaningful. __________________________________________________________________.”
