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?

Kiva, Freercie, The Girl Effect.
Hello Bloggers, welcome to assignment #4, where I am collaborating with ;
Shahad, Zuhair, and Qavi.
Our blogpost, is about examples of diffrent charities online, where you can help donate to other people in the world.
Here are some examples ;
Kiva is an online charity where you can give loans to help entrepreneurs in villages, who need a start in their business.
This is how Kiva works;
1. on the Kiva website, there are thousands of profiles of people, which contain; their picture, and their reason for you to lend them your money.
4. Over the course of time, the person you lent your money to, pays you back!
That's how Kiva works.

Free Rice
Free Rice, is an online charity where you can play a game by answering a few questions in a variety of subjects, and everytime you get an awnser correct, you donate 10 grains of rice through the World Food Programme.
You kill time and feed hungry people through out the world!
Isn't that great?

This charity is called 'The Girl Effect,' and this charity helps adolescent girls in poverty get a good start in life. When you donate, you help give girls an education, health care, protection against HIV and early pregnancy.
I bet you're all wondering why it's called 'The Girl Effect.' Well, did you know that out of 100% of children that don't go to school, 70% are girls! That's more than half! They deserve the rights as equal human beings, and given opportunity to healthcare, education, and a clean, developed enviroment.

As Free As a Bird - Poetry of Hope
Hello lovely Bloggers!
Thank you for stopping by my page!
Welcome to assignment #14.
In the month of November, we learned all about the Holocaust, and what the word 'ghetto' actually meant.
So Ms.P has us writing our own poem in the eyes of the Holocaust, about hope and freedom.
This poem is completely written by me.
So here it goes..
As Free As A Bird
by: Claire Garcia
I pray,
that one day,
I will be as free as a bird.
To majestically soar,
up, up high.
To the flawless clouds,
in the painted, blue sky.
To freely observe the world,
in my eyes.
And squander,
wherever I'd like.
But no.
I am trapped in this ghetto.
No freedom,
just this prison.
Among the thousands of other strangers.
Yet,
the birds still sing to me.
Singing a song of hope.
Alittle bit of happiness evokes my soul.
And I know...
there is still hope.
