If you are in a country on high alert for the Ebola virus, Global Development have asked for photos and stories about what life is like where you are. Aldo Gianfrate shared this devastating photo from Sierra Leone where the situation is desperate.
Feeding street children
"Sierra Leone totally looks like a war zone. Conditions in the north of the country are critical. And critical are the conseguences of Ebola epidemic. Noone in the streets, it’s hard to find food, prices are much higher. The three-day lockdown has made things even worse for the population, which has been struggling to get food and water. To face the emergency, the staff of the Italian ngo which I work for, AVSI Foundation, distributed to most vulnerable families some essential commodities: rice, oil, onions, tomato sauce and soaps. In addition, the Ministry of Social Welfare has asked us to assist about 250 street children in some neighborhoods of the capital, who were living on alms, and if left alone would not have survived. It was an emergency in the emergency". Ernest Sesay, President of Family Home Movement (AVSI Foundation network). http://www.avsi.org/
This week’s readers’ assignment is on empty places of worship around the world. Helen Grant shared this photo of the tiny Innerpeffray Church in Scotland. You can also have a look at some of our favourite ‘My friends and I’ photos in our gallery.
Innerpeffray church, Perthshire, Scotland
This church stands next to the much better known Library of Innerpeffray, a repository of books dating back to the 1400s. Amongst other attractions, it has a carved 18th century gravestone and a "leper squint", through which lepers excluded from church services could watch the mass - poor things, out in the cold! This view of the interior was taken from the small gallery.
Ahead of National Poetry Day next week Books have asked you to recite any poems you know by heart. There have been many impressive recitals submitted, and alexisd shared this outdoor effort.
The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear
The Owl and the Pussycat is surely one of the most romantic poems in the English language. For its sparkling celebration of courtship, love's fulfilment, mixed marriage and, of course, dancing, it is impossible not to cherish.

The Athens Olympics Softball Stadium
I went to have a look at the Olympics park in Athens, now mainly semi-ruined. The last event held there was a pro-legalising-marijuana rally.
You can also have a look at our gallery on Cities’ favourite funny and confusing signs.
There has been a surge in new popular support for the Green party, particularly in Scotland, and we asked anyone who has recently joined the party to share their reasons for doing so. daledeacon offered this perspective.
A message of hope
I hope my son will grow up in a country and a world where poverty, inequality, damaging environmental practices, conflict, hatred and division are a thing of the past. The Greens are the only main stream British political party that I believe have the philosophy and policies to achieve this.
With the Ryder Cup teeing off this week, we wanted to see photos of your favourite golf courses and tournament experiences from the past. We’ve received plenty of scenic golf settings, but nothing quite like this one Simonsayz has shared with us. It looks like a tough crowd.

The crowd like to get close to the action
This week marks what would have been Ceefax’s 40th birthday and we asked to hear about your own teletext memories. LiquidRay shared their experience of following the football scores.
Southend's moment of glory.
After beating Newcastle United 4-0 in an early kickoff at Roots Hall on new years day 1992 Southend United were fleetingly top of Division 2 (Now the championship).
The only evidence is a photo of the teletext league table which someone took with a Polaroid of and posted to the Internet a decade or so later.
