IF EDUCATION WAS GIVEN TO POVERTY PEOPLE, HOW WOULD IT HELP?

Lalibela S3930‘

Education is very helpful. If you study hard, your brain will be more full of life, and information, you’ll be wiser and become solemn. Kids need to go to school, it is just how life is. We need to learn Science for example, to learn the ways of earth and how many things work such as how plants grow etc. We need to gain knowledge about English because it is the most popular language in the world, and will we know how to speak it, write it and understand it when we don’t learn it? English helps us read letters, bills, know how much something on sale costs… if we cannot read English, can you see how much an impact this is on our lives?

Imagine people in Poverty, if they are not acquiring this? How will they know how to read a sign on the road? How will they know how to take care of themselves? Without English being taught,we’d not know a thing if we fly over to America for instance. We’d be helpless… Do you follow what I’m saying?

‘is there anything I can do?‘

No English= No being able to read any letters, warnings etc= being under risk, cannot understand what someone is saying, writing or doing= No understanding=HUGE IMPACT. If we weren’t being taught Maths, that would be even worse. How would we be able to calculate how much to pay if we want to sell or buy something? How will we know how much to pay for a product if it is cut 30% off? How will we pay our bills, do anything to do with Maths and most importantly, how will we give knowledge to our children? If we don’t know Maths, our children won’t be able to because we won’t be capable of helping them! Then our generation will be without an education. No Job. No money. Thrown out of their House. Poverty. Do we want this to happen? No.

If education can help these people, then why not learn? Why not gain knowledge and on the way learn really significant facts? If they could have a teacher to support them and maybe donate some money, then they could grow up to be smart, have a job, shoes, clothes, water, food, shelter, and they could maybe even help others including buying their family a house to live in! Do you know how much that will help them? Change their life? If you were under Poverty, how would you feel, knowing you now had a job, money and everything you needed to live? You’d be relieved. So next time, if you see anyone asking for you to donate money to a charity or so, give them a coin! Even 5 cents will help.

Government! Help?+ My Special Opinion ( In Italic)

Why isn’t the government doing anything about this? Aren’t they elected to make their country great, happy and healthy?A whimsical country full of life? Then why aren’t they acting now and keeping their promise to help those in grave danger? How can they just sit there, in a luxurious room filing papers and taking a sip from a cool drink while Poverty is under way? Simply because they probably think they can’t help.

Can’t? They can if they try! We need their help to stop Poverty, to save those people in need… how can we just let them pass away in a blink of an eye? If the government at least donates some money out of the billions it has, to the people under poverty than it could do everyone good even if they lost a bit of money they are still helping!

ekuverikamakee, gadha fadha baareh‘

‘Peace‘

And THAT there will make a difference. If we all join hands together as one, then we could live freely, joyfully and with Justice. if the government lends these people enough money to simply go to school, have a job, live anywhere but the street ex: houses, flats, villas, even little flats for each family or person. It would do so much good as to bring the world together. If we keep peace, wars can be turned down! See how little things can lead to larger aspects? From poverty to ‘No War’! What a chain already!!

They’d be relieved to know after helping these people, that they’d kept their promise and led their country to a happy ending…      :)  We can do this everyone. If only we worked together, hard-man-ship, optimism, hard work, respect and friendship, not to forget determination, we could in just a few years change everything!We’d walk down the road, and there wouldn’t be a single person in poverty as we pass… ever… wouldn’t that be a miracle?

Money!‘                                                     ‘Swing Chain‘

So far, these people cannot live properly. They cannot go to school, and those who can find it difficult, especially walking hours at the break of dawn and having to wait 3 hours before their lessons. So, raise your voice and save People Under Poverty. They need you, they are waiting for your help and one day when it comes, they will be at your knees to thank you consistently. They’ll pray for you day and night. Make a Difference. Now’s the chance. Poverty is awful as it is, I know it is! And I think it is unfair for humans like us to have to suffer in the streets while we live in homes, safe. It isn’t fair for them, and I’m sure if we were in their place we wouldn’t find it fair either. Make your mark now.

World Aids Day, December 1‘                        ‘Help‘

POVERTY= a simple 7 letter word holding so much meaning! Poverty is when someone is set up for a horrible life in the street, no money, no food, no water or shelter. Someone who is thrown out of their house, left being miserable and poor for the rest of their life. If they smell the freshest cake baking across the street, they will envy all who buy them. Even kids experience this tragedy and might even be vulnerable to diseases so powerful it could kill them in seconds… Some of the poorest countries in world are in Africa. This affects children in all sorts of ways. Often, they don’t have enough: Food, Water, Shelter, Money and Education. In Zambia, Africa, for example, 8 out of 10 people are living below poverty average! Another big problem for these poor countries is that they owe massive debts to countries which have lent them money in the past. One out of every 2 people is ill because of poor diet. 7 out of 10 people in Malawi, live in poverty! More than three million kids in Malawi have too little to eat. Doesn’t that break your heart? Another case is:

No money = no school 

Care Help Need‘                       Class 1A‘

People in Africa are desperate for an education! If they don’t have the money, then there’s no school for them. Children who do go to school must walk for hours! They have to get there really early, and wait 3 whole hours for their lessons. Isn’t that sad? Isn’t that unfair? How can we sit watching TV with the most scrumptious ice cream cake in our hands while kids and adults are suffering the streets? In Africa war has been going on for 27 years running and some kids have been forced to compete in the war and die when they don’t even know what the war is about… children as young as 7!! Kids can be taken from their families and fight in the war, maybe never come back. In Rwanda, Africa, 300 000 kids have no parents because they were killed in a civil war in 1993! 7 out of every 10 kids in Congo have died before their second birthday and more than 70 000 in Angola have lost arms and legs. Can you imagine yourself like this? Would you like to be treated this way?

Etiopía‘

AIDS is the biggest killer of these children. It is said by 2010, 27000 people will have died from it. In Ethiopia alone, 250 000 kids under 5 have AIDS. Delifa, and 11 year African orphan has to take care of her 4 siblings in a run down house in Malawi. They eat only 1 meal a day, don’t go to school and struggle even to find clothes to wear. On this website, I found this:’1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day). At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day ‘ Visit This Website  and read some of the articles about Poverty! There are many terrible facts…

   Around the world, 27–30,000 children die every day. That is equivalent to 1 child dying every 3 seconds, 20 children dying every minute, a 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring almost every week, or 10–11 million children dying every year. The silent killers are poverty, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, and other related causes. If you take a look at this Girl Effect Video, it will teach you alot and you will gather up how much you need to help these people in poverty. Ten days to go! Now or never, our actions count. Have your say by joining the biggest global mobilization against poverty and inequality and for the Millennium Development Goals. Go to this site for more information!

Located in South Western Sydney, it stretches throughout a whole street, but I have no idea how big it is. All I can say is, it is pretty big, and when I say big, I mean huge. There is Area 1, the first area entrance in my school, then move on to Area 2, where there is a Basket ball Court along with a small playground, further down, are the Toilets, Area 3; no need for any more information about that. When you go still further down, Area 4 there is a little area for the Kindergarten students- Year 2 students fitted with mini wooden tables, silver seats, and a colourful canteen… after that there is a ash- felt playground with handball courts, Area 5, followed by a medium sized grass field (Area 6) for  the Kindergartners- 2nd graders, and last but not least a GIGANTIC Grass Field for the Year 3-6 students which is used on certain sunny days to play Football, Touch Footy, Soccer or just walk around with mates. Wow.. I’ve used just a giant paragraph already to sum up my school! Oh, and I almost forgot, it is a Public school full of wriggling kids who are ready to start the day anytime, ranging from Kindergarten to Year 6.

Working hard.‘

Typical Friday At School! Note: You do not need to read this all, because you are under risk of being absolutely bored… though please read it as a favour?

7:30-8:00 Mum orders me to wake up… and I jump out of bed, exhausted. Wash my face, brush my teeth, throw on my uniform, socks, any special accessories for the day, move on to the Bathroom to do my hair…. which takes around 20 minutes! Brushing does get tough…sometimes I screw up my face in struggle!

8:00-8:15 If there is any medicine for me to put on or take, this is the time… a quick Breakfast and a bad attempt to ignore my arguing siblings on the table.  As soon as I’m done (You’d be surprised by how slow I eat!), I straightway wash my bowl, put on those shoes because we are strictly “Not allowed to go upstairs in shoes”.

8:15-8:30  Rush around getting 100% ready, drink some water, collect my recess and Lunch money, and get hold of my bag. Anything just to waste the time!

8:30-8:45 Off to the car I go, my bag on my shoulders. My brother is dropped off at school, but traffic slows us down as usual. Then comes us, my sisters and I.

‘untitled‘

  Rush Hour! Beep Beep! Honk Honk! Let me through!

8:45-9:00 Walk up to the school entrance and meet our friends.Bathe in the heat of the sun if sunny, and take a seat on the floor to chat with Katherine and my little sister, Diala. We blabber away until the bell rings.

9:00-10:30 Run off to the class I am meant to help line up, and listen to any morning announcements…. I walk over to my teacher, Mrs Pericles, along with the rest of the Prefects and have a meeting about school events. Discussing… At 10:30 we prepare our assembly sheets, awards, and slither down to the Hall. We take a seat on the stage, set the assembly sheets, ready to begin.  ( On a Monday, at this time, the Arabic Students and I have chemistry lessons with our Arabic teachers, doing exciting experiments! all the way till 11:00)

‘“Making Good Choices” Assembly‘

10:30-11:00 We, the Prefects and I,  hand out awards, sing the School Song, National Anthem, listen to announcements and continue with the basic assembly until we dismiss the classes and we all wander off! As soon as the bell rings at 11:00 we take down our lunch, brains, pride, lunch money and friends down with us to Area 2 to play… I either play skipping, just chat about anything, or eat my noodles beside my friends.

11:00-12:00 I line up and rage up the stairs to class. All the time we spend either on the computers blogging, writing about a picture on the board, do Maths work. Basically either fun, or work work work. And so on it goes! If we are lucky, we go out and have some sport, any game like Dodge ball, Skipping, Softball, Beat the Ball… From A to probably V.

Year 6 in the ICT Suite at+Fair+Field+School‘

12:00-12:45 Work Work Work, Fun Fun Fun, Maybe Art Art Art… RIIIIING!! Yay! The bell goes at 12:45 and Sokeina, Momtahina and I rush off to pray in our teacher’s office. When we have finished, we run down to the canteen and buy food, jelly and if we feel like it, ice cream! We wait for our class to go outside and follow them down to either Area 7 or just ordinary Area 2. Let me speak of Area 7.

12:45-1:45 (Lunch starts actually at 1:00)So my friends and I choose Area 5 to relax in, play a few games of handball and on and on the day goes while all the rest of the kids play around on Area 7 with their mates.Bell Ring, lining up once again, up to class or off to play sport. A pretty normal day, pretty boring really from my point of view but put yourself in my shoes, you’ll be having a good time.

1:45-3:00 We do anything from anything, either computer room, playing the Wii if we are lucky ducks, reading, doing fun work. Day ends…. my sisters and I meet and wait around in the shade of the office for either our mother to come, or my father.

Well, that’s it! Not very interesting eh? If you could think of something you do at school that is more fun than what i do at school, then you are most welcome to share! Try and out-fun me, we’ll call it!!

Nothing much exciting about my day’s life at school. If I could fly or be invisible, that would fire my day up, trust me, and I would be as happy as a woman who won the lottery and was living happily ever after. You’d think my day is quite boring, I made it sound so! But mark my words, it isn’t as bad as it sounds!!!

If I leave Australia, I always feel a pang of homesickness, because it is a place I can call my own! Here is a map of Sydney, where you can look around at towns, and play around. In the search box search Sydney and you’ll be looking at my home:

Sydney has a temperate climate, with over 340 sunny days per year. Average rainfall is approximately 1210mm per year, and the summer season (Dec to Feb) can have strong sunny days, so wear a hat and sunscreen between 10am and 3pm!!

Summer average temperature: 22 Celsius, Winter average temperature: 13 Celsius. Note: The seasons are reversed from the northern hemisphere - Summer here is December to February, Winter is June to August. Guess what? The population in Sydney is 4,297, 100! Luckily in Sydney, there are no Earthquakes or Torpedoes, or Volcanoes… In Sydney, we celebrate many things like: Sydney Royal Easter Show, New Years Eve, Australia Day, and many more.Powerhouse Museum (science, technology and design), the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Australian National Maritime Museum, are all the special museums in Sydney, so many artefacts and specialties.

Sydney’s most popular attractions are definitely:

Sydney Wildlife World
See koalas, wallabies, frilled neck lizards, and over 6000 animals housed in 9 separate habitats from semi arid grasslands to tropical rainforest.

Aussie Kookaburra lying on a metal pole.I’m afraid it has spotted the camera and might just peck it!

Taronga Zoo- Taronga zoo is just across the Sydney harbour on the north side and it commands a beautiful view of the city. Home to over 2,000 animals that live amongst the lush forests. Opportunities for photos with koalas, view the Flight Bird Show, take the Sky Safari and listen to the many talks and animal shows all day long;

‘comfort‘

Going south from Sydney is the famous Bondi beach; Clovelly is good for children as it has some shelter and Cronulla a good option as can be reached by train. Coogee beach is south of Bondi beach;Blue Mountains and Katoomba;

Bondi Icebergs Panoramic‘

Painted blue Sky‘

Breathtaking, Brilliant Blue Mountains

Luna Park
A restored 1930’s amusement park with views of the harbour very recognisable by the huge smiling face seen across the harbour. Entry is free and tickets are purchased for each ride taken.

Luna Park! He’s gobbling people! Aaaahh… Run! 

The Harbour Bridge

The harbour Bridge is definitely something else, with its beauty at nights, such dazzling lights! The bridge is locally nicknamed The Coathanger^[1] because of its arch-based design. According to Guinness World Records, it is the world’s widest long-span bridge^[2] and its tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 metres (429.6 ft) from top to water level. It is also the fourth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world. It carries Trains, Motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles! Here is a website about it, if you want to check!!

Performers inside the glamorous Opera House!
From outside the Sydney Opera House looks remarkable and if you get up close you will be able to see several of the million or so ceramic tiles which cover the Sydney Opera House shells, The Opera House hosts 4 auditoriums, showing music, ballet, theatre and film performances. Sydney Opera House also has a number of restaurants all serving fabulous food and a small gift store where you can buy your souvenirs, Although only having been open since 1973, it is as representative of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt and the Colosseum of Rome..

My Recommendation:  The best places for you to visit would be all stated above, you’d be looking at such amazing things that they’d stick to your memory forever! You will have fun, experience many things, meet new people and learn more about Sydney! You will be visiting and looking at popular sightings that people wish a million years to visit!! Here is a Tourist Site about Tourist Attractions etc where you can book a flight, check out the accommodation, hire a car. go on cruises and visit most popular Sydney Places.

Make sure to look at all these sites…

Thanks again for voting on the 6 word stories, and so now I will put up my favourites with their picture:

1. Determination glimmers in her eyes…

Click to make bigger!

2.     Spurring on till his bones ache…

3. Victory Clings to her Spirit forever

Which is your favourite? What is your favourite picture? If you’ve had any Athletics Carnivals at your school, what place do you come?

Burning with the spirit of Joy

( An extra one).

Look carefully. What can you see? That’s right, a young girl, black hair, a book between her hands, a whole library behind her. Why have I chosen this picture to represent me?

Here’s my answer: I just love reading, and I’m sure without books, I would be extremely bored! The library behind the girl represents to me how much I can read because of my love for reading, and the book represents pages of my life that I have spent reading, and reading and reading. If you look closely, the girl’s other half of her face cannot be seen, but is covered by a book, which to me represents how reading has become a part of  me…

Some books should be tasted,some devoured,but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly…

( A poem from Inkheart by Cornelia Funke)  And trust me, I digest the books I like and need most!

This second picture symbolises my love of Belly Dancing, a Middle Eastern Dance, since I am half Arabic as well! I love to dance around at home, to the Arabic beats of  songs. The costume this lady is wearing is also what I wear when I’m dancing, but not exactly that costume. The cloth that is spinning behind her shows the speed the dance goes, a whirl here, a whirl there, it doesn’t work without speed!

Dancing is something I love to do in spare time, anywhere at all, but sometimes in public it gets scary… though I’ve only danced once in public, and once at school, also at weddings…it makes me feel proud, special and happy. Dancing is something that makes me feel secure and ever so jovial!

day 87 - Love Letters‘

Last but not least, this picture of a girl surrounded by writing shows to me how much I can write, pages and pages, and how much writing means to me, many envy me for this talent, and some congratulate me on my efforts. The pen in the mouth shows how I gather words, how I devour them one by one, and learn from them, how I write and write, my brain works faster than my hands can go… the writing all over represents my love of writing stories, and just being able to write anything at all, from scary stories, to sad stories is wonderful.

I also hope to be a writer some day, to be able to share my stories with the world, just like I am sharing this picture with you and how and why it is significant to me. I am determined to improve amazingly in the future, and fill the gaps in my life I have yet to discover…

What are your Top 3 Hobbies? And why?

Your pick? Which do you prefer? But first let us get to the previous pole! The amount of votes they got was:

TV: 0

Computer:7

Thanks heaps to all who kindly voted and shared their opinions of this subject. Now, a trickier one, what flavour do you fancy? Vanilla, Chocolate or Strawberry? Remeber, you can only choose one!!

Reasons to pick Vanilla:

1. It tastes yum and most people like it

2. It is very popular and is fancied by many, usually tastes good as white chocolate or icecream

3. Can be used with any topping to suit your taste!

Reasons to pick Chocolate:

1. Basically, it is the most popular flavour, and is liked by HEAPS pf people!!

2. It is used as many things: Cereals, chocolate bars, icecream etc. It has many different disguises

3. It has a nice taste which melts in your tongue and makes you feel pleasant

Reasons to choose Strawberry:

1. Girls mostly like Strawberry and its nice sweet, sugary taste

2. It can be used as marshmallows, icecream, etc… and is pleasant to eat!

3. It has a sweeter taste than the others, and usually makes you want to eat more and more of it sometimes even for comforting, which will do you good because of the sugar in it!!

Tough choices, but I’m hoping for a good, neat voting process! I wonder what you all think, my vote would probably go to vanilla, just because it tastes DELICIOUS!! Let me hear what you think, and when you have voted, also say in what shape you fancy it ex: Ice cream, a bar… and so on! Can’t wait for your opinions!!

Well, don’t be worried, I will still be posting, commenting and doing polls, but first let me relax in the shade of the palm trees in Hawaii. And Spain, and Italy. I must go there some day I just MUST. Sorry! Anyway, before we make a fuss, I want you to please rate my blog out of a percentage of 100, I got the idea from Aaron in Tasmania. You can judge me on:

Creativity, Comments, Friendship and Posts, also my interesting links and what I write 9if it is cool, nice and amazing!) and you can think up the rest. I can’t wait to see what you think and don’t worry, I won’t be broken- hearted, I just need the truth and some lovely advice.  Cross my fingers… oh and also the new poll is coming soon! STAY TUNED MY GOOD MATES! 

And the answer to what colour my colour poem was from, IT WAS GREEN! Well done to Sam for getting it right and to Stephie who tried!But for now… let us Go With the Flow!

‘Going With The Flow‘

Fourth on Lake Austin‘

Basically, I chose my theme because it caught my eye and I couldn’t help myself. I thought to myself, it would really suit my blog and was the type of design I really liked, as well as it was very popular. But I also chose it first to examine how it looked on my blog, and after a couple of days with the experimenting, I felt satisfied and thought it was the theme for me. I couldn’t possibly change it…

Why did I choose such a Theme out of piles of them which were all as brilliant as mine? Well, sometimes you get that feeling that you must have something out of thousands of others, no matter if they are better. That feeling where you see a precious ash- haired porcelain doll for example, out of many others and feel it must be yours even if it isn’t the prettiest. Everyone has their own opinion, and mine is Fauna…. taking this theme off would be like throwing it away, and I wouldn’t like to do that to it after it has decorated my blog.

So these are the reasons I chose my theme… and not a teeny thing can change my opinion!

Their tune echoes in your memory for long, it dances whimsically in your heart

You shall forget the days of melancholy, anger, and sadness

Seeping through you will only be the illumination of courage and joy… a long life you’ll live perfectly 

It feels like a comfy, warm cloak made of fields of grass concealing the icy chill of the day from you, hushing you to sleep with a lullaby when you are having nightmares It smells like a satisfying fragrance erupting from the prettiest flower, peppermint lingering on your breath, your neck, dissolving on your tongue…it reminds me of the peppermint chewing gum I chew till the salt disappears 

Peace and quiet, only your hesitant breathing sounded. It will make you cool, calm and collected in this relaxed atmosphere There would be no special word for its appearance, but I tell you it is like a whispering Oak Tree, singing comfortingly to you in an indescribable language you’ll regret you don’t understand but it makes you close your eyes, dream of heaven, with a beam drawn over your face

This colour is bright, not yellow

But full of might

You may see this colour part of an apple or tree

hink to yourself: Hmmm, I wonder, what colour could it be?
