Sammie Vance, 14, knows there's nothing worse than feeling left out. For years, she's been helping kids who feel lonely make friends by running Buddy Bench (友谊长凳) Programme. The idea is that anyone at school who is feeling lonely can sit on the buddy bench. That lets other kids know someone needs a friend.
Sammie got the idea at the summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so she presented the idea to her teachers and her parents. To reduce cost and be environment - friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled materials. So she asked her community to collect bottle caps. Finally, they collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps, which were made into three benches by a company called Green Tree Plastics.
Before long, Sammie was helping other schools get benches. She has given away more than 200 benches to schools and parks all around her country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide.
Sammie says the effort has helped her deal with personal challenges. She says, “ ” But I'm much more outgoing now.” She has also learnt to accept her limits (限度), and to take breaks when working on a big project.
