Grace
Hey Fix It Crew! Tomorrow morning is our first Saturday volunteering at the Green Street Community Centre Repair Café. Mrs Okonkwo just messaged me to say everything is ready for ten o'clock. How's everyone feeling?
Amira
Honestly, I can't wait! After we watched that documentary in geography about how much electronic waste gets thrown away every year, I wanted to do something practical instead of just complaining about it.
Leo
Same here—though I have to admit, at first I only signed up because I needed twelve hours of community service for my Duke of Edinburgh bronze award. Then my grandad showed me how to wire a plug and fix a toaster, and I actually got hooked!
Mitch
Fair enough, mate—whatever gets you through the door!
Mitch
Back home in Melbourne, my older sister runs a clothes-swap and mending stall at our local market. Since I'm on exchange here for the term, I figured helping at the sewing table would be a brilliant way to meet people in the neighbourhood.
Grace
And I'm keen to see if people actually trust teenagers with their broken gadgets and bikes! Remember, all repairs are free, though visitors can leave a small donation for spare parts.
