For the past four years, the volunteers of Volunteer for Bangladesh thanked personnels like politicians, journalists, lawyers, NGOs, freedom fighters, and sportsmen of the country with flowers and handmade cards for being with us year after year.

Creating a great write-up is easy, but only if you follow these steps carefully.
1. First step is getting a good idea that you can write on. Of course, it has to be interesting and fun/scary/mysterious for the readers. Once you have a good idea, you’ve crossed the hardest part.
2. Now its time to organise the idea that you have. Separate your idea into an introduction, body, and conclusion. Once you know what to write for which paragraph and how you would write them, it’s a piece of cake from there!
3. While writing the piece, make sure you follow the story properly and not miss parts. It will be confusing for your readers if you do that. Try not to make spelling mistakes, fix your grammar tone (past, present, future) and you’re good to go!
Know that writing gets better from reading books and practising. There is no need to include hard words when you can use simple words to say what you want to say. Actually, its better!
bring your pEns out!

faCts about CandLEs
• For thousands of years, candles were the main source of light in darkness.
• The first things (one of them) used to make candles was tallow. Tallow gave out a smoky fire and a bad smell when burned, which is why it is not as popular today.
• During the middle ages, people learned about beeswax and began to use this to make candles. Beeswax didn’t give out a bad smell as the tallow did, and it burned cleaner, but using beeswax was very expensive.
• Someone who makes candles is known as a chandler.
• Candles are made mostly from paraffin. Today, there are choices in candles such as soy, soy blends, gels and beeswax.
Sarah came home from school and hugged her mother like always but she was very sad.
Sarah’s father is a government officer with very little income. Sarah never felt bad about it. But today she did as one of her classmates brought a Barbie doll to school, something she had only seen in her small TV. When she asked for the doll that girl started teasing her and everyone started laughing.
The sound of the doorbell woke her. Her mother entered the room with her best friend, Tonima. Tonima gave her a box. Sarah opened it and found a Barbie starting at her. She hugged Tonima and started crying. anika jannat
What you will need• An old CD or DVD• A balloon• A pop-top cap from a liquid
soap bottle or water bottle• A hot glue gun
What to doCover the centre of the CD with a piece of tape. Poke several holes into
the tape using a push pin or a small nail. Stick the cap in the middle of the CD using a hot glue gun. Blow up the balloon and fit its neck over the cap. But before you do so make sure the pop-top is closed. Your hovercraft is now ready. Place it on a smooth surface and pop the top open.

What you will need• Few playing cards.• Scissors• Transparent tape• A plastic glass
What to doTake one of the cards and cut it in half across the long side. Stick tape along the rough edge of the half card. Now stick the half card at the back of a
playing card. The half card will act like a base to keep the glass standing . Place this card on top of your table making sure that the half card is facing you and not the audience. Have fun watching everyone clap when you show them your anti gravity glass! If you are confused at any point check this video out and you’re all set. http://youtu.be/JiatAsswnfk
