I think that all of these people can be described as bright sparks because they had great ideas. I think Angela Zhang must have discovered something really important, Cameron Johnson must have been successful in business, Emily Cummins must have invented something really useful and Derreck Kayongo must have done something that really helped a community.

“The simplest method of cooling something can be seen when you look at how we cool biologically – through sweating and evaporation,” Emily said.
Emily said that the simplest method of cooling something could be seen when you looked at how we cooled biologically – through sweating or evaporation. “We sanitise them first,” he explained, “then heat them at very high temperatures, chill them and cut them into final bars.

A: So, Derreck, when did you first get the idea of recycling hotel soap?
B: It was when I was staying in a hotel in the USA and I was really shocked to hear that guests were given new soap every day.
A: Why was that so shocking to you?
B: Well, being from Africa, I know that 2 million young children die each year through lack of hygiene.
A: So how exactly did you get your project started?
В: I simply began asking hotels to donate their used soap.
A: That sounds pretty simple.
B: It is, but it’s hard work actually. We have to sanitise all the soap first, then heat it at very high temperatures, chill it and cut it into final bars.
A: I see. So, how many bars of soap has your project provided to people in need so far?
B: We have provided about 100,000 bars of soap to people in 9 different countries absolutely free.
A: That’s amazing, Derreck! Well, good luck for the future of your project.
B: Thank you very much!

I really admire Emily Cummins because not only did she invent something really clever but it was something that could help people in need in the developing world. I think she managed to achieve that because she enjoyed making things from scrap materials, but she must have put a lot of thought and hard work into her idea to make it work, too. I also admire her for giving talks encouraging people to follow their dreams. That’s a really unselfish thing to do. I definitely think we can all be inspired by this to use our skills and the things we enjoy to do some good in the world.
