Who was Ruth Hayman?

She was a lawyer in South Africa. She fought for black people. In 1968, she moved to England, and was the first person in the field to teach English as a second language. When Ruth died in 1981, some teachers started a charity in her name.

Who does the Ruth Hayman Trust help?

People who:

are over the age of 16

learn English as a second language

don’t have enough money to study

Since 2016, we have helped hundreds of students from different countries to study lessons such as medicine, English and computing.

How does the Ruth Hayman Trust help people?

Most of the money we give out is for lessons and exams and we also spend some money on books and other things like knives for cooking and scissors for cutting hair. Naima from Somalia learned at the Trust. This helped her to go to university.

We raise money by ourselves. Some people give away money to us because they like what we do. We also hold many events such as concerts (音乐会) and sales to raise money. Naima once got support from our Trust. She talked about how the Trust helped change her life. To go on helping people like Naima, we need to raise more money.

B

Single-use products such as plastic bags and disposable chopsticks bring convenience to daily life, but they also cause serious environmental trouble. It takes hundreds of years for most plastic waste to break down in soil. Harmful materials from broken plastic pollute soil and underground water, affecting crops and people’s health.

Many countries have made strict rules to cut down single-use goods. In our city, rubbish sorting rules have been carried out for three years. Citizens need to separate waste into different groups. Used batteries and electronic waste are collected separately to avoid soil damage. Meanwhile, second-hand shopping becomes more and more popular. Buying used books or furniture helps reduce resource waste.

Scientists point out natural resources on Earth are limited and will run out one day if wasted randomly. Besides waste
