If there is an empty lot (空地) in your neighborhood, what will you want to turn it into Some US high school students, who study at Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio, turned such a lot into a place of hope.
The empty lot in their neighborhood was once poor and dirty. As a program for the school’s biohealth (生物健康) class, eight students decided to improve the lot. They wanted it to become a good place, and wished it could improve the health of people living near there.
After weeks of thinking and studying, the students made their program a success.

The students painted the bench purple because it is a relaxing color. They think kids can go there to sit together, make friends and have fun.
The hopscotch board was created for a group of kids aged from 8 to 10 in the neighborhood. There was no place for kids to play, so they made it for them.
