As time passing by, young students from all over the world get together at one of the sixteen conservation camps. The aim is to help protecting the countryside and its wildlife.
Many animals and plants are in danger of disappear forever. The dormouse, a kind of mouse, for example, needs woodland plants for food and trees to stay. It’s habitat is being destroyed by man and it needs our help to survive.
Through this activity you will learn about the nature and how to protect it. Our trained leaders will company you and tell you everything what you need to know. Because of this, you needn’t to have any experience, just energy and enthusiasm. You will explore the countryside and work to ensure the survival of hundred of animals and plants.
We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions. But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
