Audioscript

Hi, my name's James Johnson and I live in Somerset, England. My family owns a big farm there and we grow crops, like wheat. My family have been farmers for hundreds of years, but things have changed over time. Now, we have so much wheat that it would take too long to do alone. All the local farmers help each other at the end of every summer. We work as a group to make sure there’s enough food for everyone.

Hello, I'm Farah Ibrahim. I live in Amman, Jordan with my parents. My mother is a very hard-working nurse.

She inspired me to become a doctor and join the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO). JHCO was started in 1990. It helps countries in need around the world-like Palestine, Sudan and Haiti - to fight poverty.

Hello, my name is Panikpak and I'm an Inuit. In the past, Inuits had a different lifestyle. In winter, they lived in igloos to protect themselves from the cold. In summer, they lived in tents made from the skin of animals. Today, we live in modern houses. However, some traditions have remained the same, like music, dancing and telling stories.
