Second Shot Coffee

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06d0rx2

Julius set up Second Shot coffee shop in Bethnal Green, London to make a difference to people who were homeless. Julius trains homeless people to work in his shop to help them get their lives back together. 

The shop also runs a "pay it forward" scheme where customers can pay for a coffee or a meal for a homeless person. In three years this scheme has paid for 7,000 coffees and 5,000 meals for people living on the streets. Julius says, "people are intrinsically good if given the opportunity."

"It's really nice being able to see people's journeys as they exit homelessness. One day they come to us and say, 'I've got a hostel, I've got somewhere to live now,' which is amazing and then it sounds kind of funny but it's really nice and we never see them again because.. that's it."

Charlotte and David Willner (top picture) are parents living in America with their two year old daughter. They saw pictures of distressed children who were being separated from their parents in refugee camps in America and decided to try and help. They set up a crowdfunding page on facebook with a target of raising $1,500 to pay for one lawyer to help one child reunite with their family.

Within  one week the facebook page has raised $20 million from hundreds of thousands of people in America donating money.

David said, "It was clear we had touched a nerve and people cared about this."

All the money is going to RAICES Refugee and Immigrant Centre for Education and Legal Services in Texas. They say this campaign has raised more money than the service has ever seen. 

Charlotte says, "These families matter, these individual children matter, and if we can make a difference for one of them, if we can make a difference for many of them, that's worth it."

Gender equality - driving

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/24/saudi-arabia-aseel-al-hamad-formula-one-car-le-castellet?CMP=share_btn_fb

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/23/middleeast/saudi-women-driving-ban-lifts-intl/index.html

Aseel Al Hamad is a woman from Saudi Arabia. This picture shows her driving a Formula One car before the French Grand Prix on the day her country lifts the ban on women drivers.

Until Saturday 23rd June women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia. To celebrate the lifting of the ban, Aseel drove the car as part of a parade of vehicles. Aseel says, "I believe today is not just celebrating a new era of women starting to drive, it is also the birth of women in motor sport in Saudi Arabia."

"I have loved racing and motor sport form a very young age and to drive a Formula One cargoes even beyond my dreams and what I thought was possible. I hope doing so on the day when women can drive on the roads in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia shows what you can do if you have the passion and spirit to dream."

Many women in Saudi Arabia drove for the first time at Midnight on June 24th. Dr Mona Al-Fares was waiting in her car with her family before midnight so that she could be among the first to drive in her country; "I feel happy, relieved, I feel like I'm free" she said.

Not everyone agrees with women driving; Khaled Abdullah Al-Houba says women need at least two years to learn to drive; "Saudi women still don't have the guts needed to drive."

Saudi Arabia is the last country in the world have such a ban which means now there is no country in the world where women are not allowed to drive. Women across Saudi Arabia celebrated, tweeting pictures and videos as they drove cars around their city.

Trooping the colour is a royal British tradition, starting in 1748. The ceremony originated as guards prepared for battle, presenting their colours and flags so that soldiers would recognise them. Today the ceremony is used to celebrate the Queen's official birthday in June.

This year Charanpreet Singh Lall became the first person to wear a turban in the trooping the colour procession. That's the first time in 270 years. Charanpreet says, "I hope that people watching, that they will just acknowledge it and that they will look at it as a new change in history."

"I hope that more people like me, not just Sikhs but from other religions and different backgrounds will be encouraged to join the army."

"I'm quite proud and I know that a lot of other people are proud of me as well. It's a good feeling... there's going to be a lot of eyes and I am going to have influence on other people."

Diverse England Team

https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/06/englands-diverse-world-cup-team-is-something-to-celebrate/

The England World Cup team in 2018 is the youngest team England has ever sent to the competition, and it is also the most ethnically diverse. There are 23 players in the England squad and 11 are black or of mixed ethnicity; the England team for the last World Cup in 2014 had just 6.

The first black player on an England World Cup team was Viv Anderson in 1978. John Barnes became the first black player to play for England in the finals in 1986 when he came on as a substitute in the last 15 minutes of the game.

30 years later shows an England team much more representative of the country. A recent poll shows that 74% of British people say the England squad is a symbol of the country that belongs to people of every race and ethnic background.
