DPRK School Uniforms!

DPRK: Kim Jong Un Thoughtfully Discusses “School Uniform Design” – Via Telephone-Call! (8.6.2025)

He said that if parents call for school uniforms larger than sizes, it is necessary to make the tucks of trousers and skirts with 5-6 cm ease and if then, the tucks would be lowered according to children’s growth. And he said that it is imperative to make a study of it and take relevant measures.

The official was deeply moved by his meticulous instructions. That day, with his warm loving care for children, Kim Jong Un stressed the need for provinces to build factories specializing in producing school uniforms and footwear and supply quality school uniforms and shoes to students.

Thanks to the measures taken by Kim Jong Un, factories specializing in producing school uniforms and shoes were built in the provinces, thus establishing a well-regulated system for supplying school uniforms and shoes to the students across the country. (End)

North-East China: Relay of love – Welfare Home Safeguards Precious Childhoods! (7.6.2025)

This year, Zhang is embracing motherhood while teaching. “I’ve learned that equal respect and patient companionship matter as much as boundless love,” she said. For the upcoming party, her students will attend as audience members. “They may not follow the program,” Zhang said. “But their smiles when hearing music or reaching for balloons mean a lot.”

Zhang’s legacy resonates with youths like Lin Qiuyue, 12 years her junior. “She’s been our warm guardian since I can remember, and she truly understands us,” Lin said. When Zhang returned as a teacher, their bond deepened. Inspired by Zhang, Lin now envisions her own future at the institution.

“I want to pay forward that empathy, just like her,” Lin said.

Baby Black-Bird Rescued!

South London: Baby Black-Bird Rescued! (22.5.2025)

As Gee has worked in Rescue-Centres many moons ago – she was able to do a full assessment of the bird’s fitness – and this bird passed with flying colours! We teach our pets to be kind to one another and so the cat had not bitten the bird in any place on the body (we think it is a female Black-Bird). The wings were intact, the feet strong, the beak sharp, and the temperament calm and attentive. I held the bird for about 30 minutes whilst the bird calmed down, stood-up and sorted itself-out. Gee then took the bird outside to near where the cat caught the bird – and it stood on her hand for a few seconds, gave a squawk and away it went! This bird flew safely into a high tree and we hope it will now have a good and long life!

Warm Placed Safely Back in Garden!

Paignton: Slow Worm [Legless Lizard] Found in Mum’s House! (15.4.2025)

We think there is a colony in the back-garden as they are protected by Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) – meaning it is “illegal” to disturb these animals. Slow Worms may not be killed or injured for any reason – and wild Slow Worms are not usually to be taken as pets. In the wild, Slow Worms can live up to 15-20 years – but in captivity a Slow Worm has reliably lived to 54-years. We think this is a male – as Slow Worms are waking-up and coming-out of hibernation – seeking to eat and breed. This Slow Warm was placed safely back in the grass!
