Do Nice, Be Kind,
Spread Happy
Divine is the only Fairtrade chocolate company that is also owned by cocoa
farmers, dedicated to making every chocolate occasion a moment to cherish. Each bar is
made using the ‘best of the best’ cocoa from Ghana, where it is grown with pride by
Kuapa Kokoo, a co-operative of 85,000 smallholder farmers who own 44 per cent of the
Divine company.
by Bernadette Russell
Following on from the article on
Respect, on pages 16-17, Do Nice Be
Kind Spread Happy: Acts of Kindness
for Kids is all about spreading joy
and kindness throughout the land
– spiced up with a little dash of
magic and mischief!
Have you got what it takes to pull
ww w.iv ypress
.co.uk
off a reverse robbery by sliding a
treat into someone’s bag? Do you have the guts to
undertake a serious smile collection mission by smiling at every person
you see all day long? How about leaving one of your favourite books on
a bus or train, with a note for a random stranger to find explaining why
you think they should read it? Jam-packed with ideas, you’ll be smiling
from ear-to-ear and LOLing your socks off in no time – and hopefully
making other people smile too!
Now, we all know that chocolate should be consumed in moderation and tastes even
better when shared, so with this in mind the lovely team at Divine have kindly given us 3
family hampers filled with some of their extra-special chocolate treats to give away to you!
To be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is answer this cacao conundrum:
How long does the Theobroma cacao flower live for?
a) 1 week
b) Forever
c) 24-48 hours
Our friends at Ivy Kids have kindly given us 10 copies of this book for you
niceness ninjas to win. All you have to do is think of a random act of
kindness that you would like people to do and write in telling us
what it is. We will pick the ten most fun and inventive answers and
publish them on our website.
Please send your idea together with your name, age and address to:
AQUILA Be Kind Competition,
Studio 2, 67A Willowfield Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN22 8AP
Closing date: Monday 8 May 2017

Once again, AQUILAnauts, you well and truly surpassed yourselves in
creativity, inventiveness and downright wackiness with your designs for an
eco-friendly treehouse. We had a really tough time choosing a winner.
Our final winner was Roberta Jenkins from Cornwall for her mixed media
at the Centre for Alternative Technology
in Mid-Wales

entry, which had some fun touches such as methane-powered
(yes, that’s farts, ed) light bulbs, dancing chickens and a
bicycle-powered clothes dryer! Congratulations! EcoWeek will
be in contact with you shortly to arrange your trip!

older and younger children enjoy many of the challenges. Some of the activities are more
challenging than others and suitable for sharing with friends or family.
A special thank you to Felicity Butler for
sharing her knowledge on fair trade.
