What breaks your heart? "For me, it's seeing people who need a friend," the seventh grader Sammie Vance from Indiana, US, told a magazine.
During a summer camp, Vance learnt about buddy benches (伙伴长椅). These benches are seats in a school playground. A lonely (孤独的) child can sit on it. Then others will know he or she is in need of a friend. She loved this idea. "This would be really cool to have at my school," Vance said. To make it happen, she collected 725 kilograms of bottle caps. Her mother helped find a company to turn the caps into benches. According to Vance, these benches are much cheaper than park benches and are good for the environment.
Vance did the same thing for other schools too. She also made a special web page. People can make bottle cap donations (捐赠) on it. She was surprised when she got bottle caps from Germany, Australia and Israel.
Today, Vance has helped make about 200 benches in schools and neighbourhoods. But she is not going to stop. She said even adults (成人) can use a buddy bench because people at any age may feel lonely.
