Jamie Feilden has been interested in farms since he was a little child. Now he is planning to pass on his
love for farms to students.
     28-year-old Mr. Feilden is going to set up a charity (慈善機構(gòu)). He plans to raise money for students
from city schools who would like to visit Jamie's Farm and experience country life.
Mr. Feilden first got the idea for his project when he started working for the Teach First Project after
graduating from university in Edinburgh.
     "When I worked in a school in Croydon, I realized the students there had little experience of farm life.
Many of the students in the school had never been out of Croydon before. Of course, they had never
seen farm animals,"said Mr. Feilden. "So I opened up a small farm in the school. It was a real success."
Mr. Feilden once took a group of students back to his hometown. There the students saw many animals.
They had lots of fun spending time in the countryside. Since then he has done more work on his own farm
project. He even started working for it full time.
     Mr. Feilden said, "Living and working in the countryside can give children a chance to eat food
produced on the farm. They can also do some gardening, cooking and be with animals there."
Now Jamie's Farm needs volunteers. If you are interested in donating your money or time, you can get in
touch with Jamie by e-mailing him.
