33 You are interested in the health of Latino children. You care about getting more Latino kids covered by health insurance. You want to provide informa- tion to their parents on how to get coverage for the kids. … You want people to live a healthy life and you help them find the resources to do so. Your work makes me want to make healthy choices for me and my friends. Thank you for caring about the Latino community. You have helped me understand that fruits and vegetables are better for my health. Yours truly, Edward Garcia, fourth grade Whitehall Healthy Reporter Taunya English Editorial Director of “The Pulse” WHYY Dear Ms. English, After reading your article, “Telling stories to help people lead healthier lives,” I have come to believe that not all neighborhoods are created equal. The facts speak for themselves. For example, first, you said, “some neighbor- hoods have smooth sidewalks that make it easier to exercise and walk. But other neighborhoods have sidewalks that are broken, that make it harder for a lot of people to move around and exercise.” Also, you said that there is a neighbor- hood with more soda advertisements than others, which means that those people are encouraged to drink more soda, which is not good for their health. Finally, you said “parents can do things to help their kids breathe easier, like using a special pillowcase to prevent mites.” I wonder: without you, would people have more difficult lives? When you give a speech, it makes people’s lives easier. I believe you make a dif- ference because you want to [let people know about] the soda ads, have better sidewalks, and use more special pillowcases. Your work makes me want to help you. Thank you for making the world a better place. You have helped me want to help other communi- ties in the future. Yours truly, Gio Pavese, fourth grade Cole Manor Healthy Comet
