POLITICS & ACTIVISM

For this activity, let’s imagine that, like Helen, you are hired to lead an organisation. In this case, you are hired to be the principal of your school for one week. How exciting?! What changes would you introduce? Would you make the school day longer? Would you introduce daily trips to the swimming pool?

On your blog, list five changes that you would make to your school if you were hired to be the principal for one week.

POLITICS & ACTIVISM

• I would upgrade the classroom's and other things around the school.

• I would get more revilers/teacher in every class room to help others so we will be able to do our work on time.

• I would get more sports stuff for our students so they have more fun.

• I would get more janatar to help around the school when its messes.

The water project

For this activity, please watch this short introductory video from The Water Project.

On your blog, share what you have learned about The Water Project with us. What is the goal of the organisation? Where do they work? What have they achieved?

The water project

Goal: to help people get clean water to live a healthy life.

People die every year in Africa, India from dirty water.

Lack of water results to girls dropping out off due to puberty. 

Some country's are less fortunate so we should be grateful.

people are spending there time find water but its useless its dirty.

water is from animal and human waste.

Equal pay for Equal work?

I think that they should make it so the laddies should get the same amount cash as the men cause its not that fair because the woman have to take care of the baby's so they should make it so the woman get paid the same as the men.

Shapes!!
