WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS…
You know the old saying ‘When life hands you lemons, make lemonade’? One incredible little girl in North Carolina featured in our first story from ABC News has done just that this week. Three year old Ava Lewis has set up a lemonade stand outside her mum’s hair salon to help raise money for struggling new mums in need of nappies and baby wipes. More about her amazing work is here.
THE WALES ON THE (ELECTRIC) BUS
Some great news for those in Wales on BBC News this week. Several major towns and cities in the land of the valleys – including Newport, Caerphilly and Cardiff, are getting their first fully electric fleet of buses following their securing of government grant funding to encourage greener public transport. See the buses in action for yourself here.
