And finally in tonight’s news, a nine-year-old boy named Joe told not to draw in class lands a job decorating a restaurant with his drawings.  1  Rather than shutting down the habit of drawing in his school’s workbook, Joe’s parents decided to encourage his creativity by sending their son to an after-school art class. His teacher recognized Joe’s talent and posted all his work online, which led to something pretty wonderful.  2  A restaurant named Number 4 in Newcastle contacted Joe’s teacher to ask if the nine-year-old could come and decorate its dining-room with his drawings. Every day after school, Joe’s dad drives him to the restaurant, so he can put his ideas straight on the wall. Once he’s all done, the work will remain there permanently. Joe’s dad said:“Joe is a really talented little boy, he’s excellent at school, he’s great at football, but drawing is definitely what he is most passionate about.”

London’s Eggs ＆ Bread café offers boiled eggs, toast, jam, and bacon, as well as tea, coffee, and orange juice. But at the end of the meal, customers don’t have to worry about the bill. Hungry customers can pay whatever amount they can afford to eat at the café or nothing at all.  5  Owner Guy Wilson says his café aims to build community rather than profits. He wants to provide a bridge for people to connect in an area that has been divided by class and wealth, by providing affordable breakfasts.
The café is open in the mornings every day of the year, and has two members of staff or supervisors on shift every day.  6  The café doesn’t use volunteers, but pays its staff to ensure consistency in its service. It doesn’t take donations and doesn’t want to be seen as a charity.  7  Mr. Wilson says when people start to know other people around them, they realize they’re not that different. And whatever their financial background or their educational background, most people will have something in common with each other. He says it’s important that his café can offer his customers security and permanence.
