Welcome Sam, Noah, Jenna, Amy, Amanda, and Walid!
When Tom picked Bridgett and Denyse up to head to the skiing resort, and Tom's dad saw Denyse, why do you think he hesitated when he saw her?

Kiva, Free Rice, Girl Effect - SOLE VIDEOS.
Hello Wonderful Bloggers! Yes, it is us; Me, Zuhair, Qavi & Shahad presenting our SOLE topic, about Kiva, Free Rice, and The Girl Effect.
Here are some things I wanted to point out in our two videos!
>In Part 1, of our video, Shahad is talking about the online charity Free Rice. Please note that English is not her first subject, and yet, I thought she read what she needed to say, perfectly! Well done Shahad!
>Another thing I wanted to point out in our first video is that we made our own scripts/monolouges, and mimicked a charity tele-thon, for each of the charities we chosen. I thought it was fun, and more interesting than just describing what the charity was about.
>The last thing I wanted to point out is in both our videos, we were sort of improvising. I thought we did really good, even though we had a limited time to rehearse. Not bad fo coming up with stuff on the spot eh?
So why don't you watch the videos? Enjoy!

If I Had $100 - Ethical Gifts.
Welcome to assignment #19.
In this assignment, we are given an imaginary one hundred dollars to buy a/an ethical gift(s) to one or more of the following organizations;
Salvation Army, Oxfam, Plan, or World Vision.
OR
You can choose a diffrent organization to place your imaginary money to.
The organization I choose for my ethical gift(s) is The Girl Effect.
Funny, I think I remember doing a SOLE presentation on this very organization. Coincidence? I think not.
I chose this, because doing research on The Girl Effect, made my think.. us girls from Canada, are very fortunate, than other girls in developing countries. (Like Africa, Rwanda, or Bangladesh). Girls should have the same rights as equal human beings, and just because they're a girl, they don't get some of the same privileges. Like not being able to go to school, married off, prone to HIV, no health care.
So I'm giving my money to The Girl Effect, and help a few girls fight their legal case. And maybe one day, one of those girls will do the same. See? It's like a cycle.
***
The ethical gift I want to invest in is to help adolescent girls fight human right abuses. Donating $100 dollars will help them fight their legal case, and to see that justice will be served!
So that's all from my ethical gift.
See you around?
