"Once upon a time, in an African village, lived a smart boy named Kofi who adored watching birds, particularly the swift and graceful swallows. Desiring to observe them closely, Kofi ingeniously modified fishing techniques for his purpose. He constructed a tall pole with his father, attaching a light fishing line and a small box at its end to hold flying termites, the swallows' favorite food. His unusual method, dubbed 'sky fishing,' intrigued the villagers. As Kofi hoisted the termite-filled basket into the air, swarms of swallows were attracted, allowing everyone, including Kofi, to marvel at their beauty up close. This activity soon became a cherished village pastime. Kofi's innovative and respectful approach to nature turned 'swallow fishing' into a beloved tradition, highlighting the harmony between humans and nature, and reminding us to appreciate and respect the natural world around us."

Mello was excited but nervous. It was his first day at a new school, and he hoped to make friends. As he walked into the classroom, he noticed something right away—he was the only Black student. The other kids glanced at him but didn’t say anything. Mello took a deep breath and sat quietly. He wasn’t sure if anyone would talk to him, but he knew he had to try. At recess, Mello saw a group of kids playing soccer. He loved soccer, but he was unsure if they’d let him join. Gathering his courage, he walked over and asked, “Can I play too?” The kids exchanged glances. “Where are you from?” asked Tristan. “I’m from a different school,” Mello replied. “But I love soccer, just like you.” Skylar looked at him and said, “We’ve never had a friend like you before.” Mello smiled and said, “That’s okay! I’ve never had friends like you either. We can learn from each other.” There was a pause, then Tristan passed him the ball. “Sure! Let’s play!” As they played, Mello felt his nervousness fade. He dribbled, passed, and even scored! The kids were laughing and playing together, and Mello realized it didn’t matter that he looked different—what mattered was that they were having fun. After the game, Skylar told Mello, “You’re really good! I’m glad you played with us.” Later, back in class, the teacher noticed Mello looking unsure. She walked over and said, “If you ever need help or want to talk, I’m here for you.” Mello smiled, feeling grateful to have a trusted adult in the classroom. The next day, the teacher led a discussion about kindness and making everyone feel welcome. Tristan suggested, “We could ask more questions to get to know new students.” Skylar added, “We can learn from each other’s differences.” Mello realized that being different wasn’t something to hide—it made him special. His new friends saw that their differences made them stronger together. In the end, Mello knew that being unique wasn’t just okay—it was beautiful.

In 2019, Tim Miller's participation in a charity car rally led to the inception of Lids4Kids, a recycling initiative aimed at repurposing plastic lids to support children with cancer. The project gained momentum when a viral Facebook post sparked widespread community involvement, flooding Tim's team with lid donations. Despite initial challenges at recycling depots and a temporary pause due to Covid-19 safety concerns, Tim and his team persevered. With the addition of Emma Holliday, they restructured the charity, establishing The Hub in Canberra as a center for recycling and education. Here, lids were transformed into raw materials for manufacturing, leading to the creation of colorful benches sold to support the charity's operations. Today, Lids4Kids thrives as a symbol of community resilience, having rescued millions of lids from landfills and making a tangible impact on environmental conservation.

Matahari pagi masih malu-malu menembus celah dedaunan ketika Ana bangun dari tidurnya. Suara napas pelan dan teratur dari anaknya, Bintang, terdengar jelas di kamar kecil yang mereka tinggali. Ana mengelus lembut kepala Bintang yang kini terbaring lemah di atas kasur tipis. Sudah berminggu-minggu Bintang terlihat semakin lemah dan kurus. Tubuhnya yang dulu ceria dan penuh tawa, kini lebih sering terkulai lemas di pangkuan Ana. “Kenapa, Nak? Kenapa kamu harus merasakan ini?” bisik Ana dengan suara bergetar. Hatinya terasa berat setiap kali memandang anak laki-lakinya itu. Ia tak mampu menahan air matanya lagi. Ana tahu, Bintang mengalami gizi buruk. Namun, sebagai seorang ibu yang bekerja serabutan di kota kecil, Ana tidak memiliki cukup uang untuk memberikan makanan bergizi yang layak. Penghasilan dari bekerja sebagai buruh cuci harian hanya cukup untuk membeli beras dan minyak goreng. Ikan, daging, bahkan sayur-mayur segar terasa seperti barang mewah yang sulit dijangkau.
