Before the concert, I thought that the instruments might sound strange. After a few minutes, a group of young people began to walk on the stage. The first thing I noticed was their instruments: a cello made out of a shiny oil tank, a violin made with forks, and a flute made with a water pipe and buttons. The concert began with a girl playing Bach's Cello Suite No 1 on her shiny cello. I was shocked by the deep sound. I was so into the music that I forgot that they were playing with instruments made from recycled materials.

After the concert, I was eager to write a story about the orchestra. I met Favio Chávez, the conductor, and asked him about the orchestra. Lucy White: Why did you start The Junk Orchestra? Favio Chávez: When I went to a small town called Cateura in Paraguay to work on a recycling program in 2005, I saw children living in a town that was mostly filled with garbage. I wanted to add something positive to their lives, so I decided to share my love of music with them.

Lucy White: Why did you use garbage to make instruments? Favio Chávez: One person's garbage is another person's treasure. Nicolás Gómez, a local garbage picker, helped me a lot. He made it possible for children to play music by making instruments out of garbage. The wonderful thing about these instruments was that the children didn't have to worry about spending a lot of money on them. Lucy White: What do you want people to learn through your music? Favio Chávez: I want people to know that even something worthless can make inspiring music. After interviewing Chávez, I realized that it really doesn't matter what instrument you play with as long as you put your heart into playing it. The children of Cateura showed me that an orchestra is formed by people, not by instruments.

During the summer, my friend Amber, who lives in London, turns the clocks forward by one hour. I asked her why. She said this practice is called "daylight savings time" or "summer time." Daylight lasts longer in the summer months and is shorter in the winter months. So people turn their clocks ahead to take advantage of the longer days. This is especially helpful for farmers, because it allows them to work outdoors for an extra hour. But even those who work on a "nine-to-five" schedule enjoy an extra hour of natural sunlight once they finish their day's work. I think it is a good idea to turn the clocks forward.
