Website offers good stories during the pandemic

(MAY 30, 2020) The pandemic brings a lot of bad news. Mark Lawton wants to hear good news, too. So he makes a new website. It has only good news.

Mark is in Portland. However, the website shares good news from around the world. He has stories from 150 countries.

More than 100,000 people visit his website. They want to read good news, too. Mark is surprised.

Mark was a high school teacher. His wife Ann helps make the website. So do two students, Aviv and Lior.

“I’ve learned that good stories are out there,” he said. “We just have to look for them.”
