She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches(袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem. Id never sewn in my life, said Ratelle, 17, a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US. Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself so I decided to learn how to sew.Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she purchased 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to FAWNA, one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from burns.A week later, she received a photo from FAWNA with a young koala in one of her larger pouches. It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way, said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner.Several craft(手工) websites around the world have appealed to people to make the animal pouches.
