Seven years ago, Joyce Akinpe moved to Australia to start a new life, finding an exciting job in Sydney. After the outbreak (爆发) of COVID-19, she suddenly lost her job.

Seeing that there were many others like herself in trouble from the outbreak, Akinpe and her two roommates, Michele Gomez and Maureen Lee, brainstormed ideas for how to help their local community. They came up with a street pantry(储藏柜). Gomez said the idea was very simple, “Take what you need and leave what you can.”

With the help of Gomez’s father, they built the Blessing Box – a street pantry, with shelves and hanging baskets and two doors made from old furniture.

It sits just at the back of the three girls’ home, so they can look after it. They put some information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes, and the Blessing Box was quickly filled with the donations (捐赠)from the community, “It is the community’s strong support that keeps the project alive,” Akinpe said.

We now have hundreds of people visiting our box every day. It might only a hours for the box to be full and next hour it might become empty again. “We are now helping others to carry out similar projects in their own communities, too”, Gomez said.

Lee said things in the box were mostly convenience foods, as well as some necessary life things such as spaghetti and toilet paper. “Few people take everything at once. They think there are other people who need them more.” Lee added.

Dear Amy,

I am sorry to hear that you don’t feel happy these days, because there are too many family rules at your home. In fact, there are also a lot of rules at my home and there are also lots of things I have to do. I can't go out on school nights, just like you. My father says I have to finish my homework first after getting home every school day. After dinner, I have to play the piano. I don't need to practice it on Tuesday and Friday nights. Because I must have dancing lessons on Tuesday and art lessons on Friday. It takes me an hour to practice playing it every time. After that, I have to spend twenty or thirty minutes reading a book. I have to go to bed before ten o'clock. I can't relax myself on weekends either. Because I have some extracurricular(课外的) classes, such as math and English. I can only go out with my friends on Saturday night, but I have to come back before a quarter to nine. But think about it, Amy. Parents make these rules to help us to be better. Maybe we will be more successful in the future because our parents are strict and we should be thankful to them. If you still feel bad, why not have a talk with either your mother or your father? I hope everything will be OK with you.

Yours,

Lisa
