Say NO to Racism!

I believe that people should ban the man who threw the banana from ever going into any Barcelona game ever again. Racism is terrible. We should not be judged on who is better or worse by the color of our skin! That’s just terrible! I think what Alves did was a perfect way to react the to hate. Most importantly, he definitely got what he deserved! I have heard a lot of racism in our school…. It just is not okay. I have African American friends, Asian friends, Indian friends, and who knows what else! But I love them all the same! They’re amazing people and that is all that matters, not the color of their skin. How do you feel about racism?

Racisim I Dont Like It

                          Just like Donald Sterling and the NBA being banned for being racist.Well, here is another story it happened in Los,Angelos police officer who was making racial comments at some young black men outside a bar in Norco,California. He was said to use the "n'' word and say more racist comments. The police officer did not get any punishment for saying what he saying the racist statments. In my perspective i think this police officer should have got some kind of punishment I dont think It was the right thing for him to say that even if he is a police officer. But they do have the freedom of speech.So what do you think, should the cop have got a punishment?Why or why not?

Child Slave Labor? HECK NAWWWW!

      Child slaves have been a big problem in the last few decades in Pakistan. The situation has gotten slightly better in recent years. The problem is not completely solved though. Pakistan has made laws against child slavery. The problem they're having is enforcing the law they've made. No effort, by the government, has been put into freeing the children who have been stolen away from their families. If you were a government what effort would you put into this law?

A long Walk To Water

                I am currently reading A long Walk To Water . This book is about two different kids living in the same place but at different times. One is a young boy named Salva. He is a lost boy. There are over 20,000 boys in the 1983-2005 called lost boys and Salvawas one of them. What is a lost boy? A lost boy is a young boy who walked away from the violence. It was really scary at that time especially for Salva because he is such a little boy who does not know were his family is and if there okay. Some lost boys find groups to walk in, were they find food and other things together. Witch Salva found. Then there is a little girl named Nya has to go fetch water for her family every day. She has to walk two hours twice everyday. Most girls still get water for there family in not just Sudan. Nya was very lucky that it was only two hours away, but her little hands could only carry so much. I think that it is really sad that we just get water from the tap, walking a few steps when they thousands of steps more. This is were we need to take action, to get them fresh water. What can we do to help Sudan, and other countries in Africa?

Facing The Lion (And Rural Poverty)

In the past 35 years, Joseph's homeland, Kenya, has tripled in population. With this increase came a higher demand for money and resources. Due to floods and droughts this country's agricultural industry suffered a severe fall. From 2010 to 2011 a great drought occurred that could have affected the nomads that rely on grass to feed their cows. If I had been Joseph and experienced the things he did growing up I may not have ever become a man. Joseph walked countless miles daily, sometimes without shoes, was circumcised in front of the whole town, and almost came face to face with a lion. Would you be able to do these things?

Facing The Lion

Facing The Lion is a book about a African Boy from Kenya who is faced with bullying. It Starts out with him at a cattle camp. Him and his family are there to protect the cattle from Lions. So after he sleep for the night a lion is attacking the cattle. He and his brothers try to corner it but the lion runs away. Then he volunteers to go to a boarding school cause in Kenya one person in the family has to go to school. So he goes there and he's a trouble maker. In Kenya the spanked them. So Joseph Lekuton, the main character, tries putting on two pairs of pants. But he gets caught, so then he tries cardboard. He gets caught but he didn't get in trouble for it. Only some boarding schools in Kenya hit there students now. What would you do if you were in a school where teachers could hit you?

Joseph Lemasolai Lekuton

                             Joseph Lemasolai Lekuton faced many tough things in his life as a young boy.   In 1965, Kenya was in a tough spot. There was a drought that lasted for about 2 years. Kenya was struggling in terms of food. Some families starved but eventually there was enough water for people to eat and feed their cows. Sadly, Kenya is still in a bad spot today. Economically speaking, They have had a mercurial economy ever since their economy became independent. During their years of independence, they've accomplished high economic growth of only six percent. Then, in the 1990's, Kenya was producing more growth rates which resulted seven percent in 2007. I think that's incredible. Do you?
