ENGLISH:
When Chelsea Phaire turns ten, she surprises everyone by asking for art supplies instead of birthday gifts. After losing her grandfather, drawing often helps her feel better. Together with her parents she packs her first 40 art kits and brings them to a homeless shelter. The children smile as they open boxes filled with crayons, paints and sketchpads. Each kit is carefully prepared, showing Chelsea thinks of every child. Inspired by the joy she sees, Chelsea decides to start “Chelsea’s Charity,” sending art kits to foster homes, shelters and hospitals nationwide. When the pandemic halts in-person visits, her family transforms their living room into a workshop and mails thousands of kits to kids in more than 30 states. Teachers write back saying the kits make children happier and bring them comfort. Chelsea’s story proves that a small, loving gift can make the world brighter. Maybe you too can brighten someone’s day with a simple act of kindness.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
