A

Children from four Buckinghamshire primary schools visited Epilepsy Society to plant a hedge (树篱) as part of a Plant-for-the-Planet project.The children from these schools were planting a hedge in the garden of the Queen Elizabeth House at the charity in Chalfont St Peter.Plant-for-the-Planet gives children across the globe the opportunity to learn about the threats of global warming to the environment,and then put their new knowledge into practice as they plant new trees.

The day was organised by Bob Sherren who showed the children how to plant the planet-friendly line of trees in protective chambers (防护室) to shield them from hungry wildlife as they settle in their

roots.Bob said,“The day really was ‘Thinking Globally,Acting Locally’ put into action.The children learned about the importance of planting trees as a way of helping to bring about climate justice for many living in poorer nations and of course enjoyed planting the trees too.” The eventual hedge,which will grow to full size over ten years behind the Queen Elizabeth House,is made up of trees such as oaks,silver birches and so on.

Bob added,“The children were also able to help people living at Epilepsy Society because they will gain some well-needed privacy from the hedge in time.The natural wildlife benefits too from the fruits and nuts that a hedge made from native species can provide as well as the possibility for any number of nesting sites.”

Emma Darlington,Epilepsy Society’s volunteer officer,said,“I think it’s so important to encourage the younger generation that the future is in their hands and that they can make a difference,whether it is through taking part in projects like this or spreading awareness.We hope they learn a little bit about the work we do at Epilepsy Society too — the trees they planted will be enjoyed by everyone here for years to come.”

Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School,but poetry is still a big part of her life,now with a new teacher who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work,Rafael

Campo.Rafael is a doctor,professor and a highly respected poet.

“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients.I think healing really in a very great way is about poetry.And if we do anything when we’re with our patients,we’re really losing ourselves in their stories,really hearing their voices.And,certainly,that’s what a poem does,” he said.

Campo worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education

today:humanity,which he finds in poetry.To end that,he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).

He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients,and poems can help close that gap.
