It was Jennifer Williams' mother who got her interested in books. As a librarian, Williams' mother read to her three children every day. "From when we hadn't gone to kindergarten, "Williams told vadogwood. com, a local news site, "until we went to college. "
When Williams, who is now 54, became an elementary school teacher and tutor in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to be falling in love with reading just as she had. But early on, she realized that some kids had little chance to get enough books to read.
To Williams, the solution was simple ∶ give kids books. In 2017, she donated 900 used children's books over three days. "I wanted to do something that's going to continue my faith, "she said.

She also hosted a book club for prisoners in the local prison
In the four years she's been doing all this, The Book Lady, as Williams has come to be celebrated, has given away more than 78, 000 books—only 922, 000 more to reach her goal! And she's not slowing down. "Reading can take you anywhere, "she told CNN. "You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything. "

Growing up in Czech republic I have played lots of sports. I have never been big girl but certainly always felt like the bigger one in the group. All what I was thinking was I want to be slim. Being considered fit or strong never came to mind.

Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn't enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that's what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a re- port, the capital, Sana, will run out of

drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: "In a good week we'll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two."
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water at very high prices.
“A lot of people can't afford it, ” she said.
The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

She's having fun. Your dog may also just be relaxed and having fun. 24 If you notice your dog rolling around in the grass, it's probably that he is having a good time. 25 But now I'm thinking I will enjoy myself next time.
