A Helping Hand for the Future

Introduction for the site

2010-04-30T10:00:00.000-07:00

WE ARE THE WORLD, WE ARE THE FUTURE!

We are living difficult times. People everywhere are suffering and they need help.
My help, your help, everybody’s help!

Mother Teresa once said:
”We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop”.

Maybe we are too young to change the world, maybe we do not have the power to build hospitals, schools and houses or to pass laws to protect the needy people...
But with a common effort, something can be done to support the unfortunate and fight for change.

We can have a different Europe, so let’s ACT NOW!

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi

Let’s offer the world a helping hand for the future.

Poverty Yesterday and Today

Poverty Yesterday and Today

By Ioana Doran 5 A
School 49, Bucharest

In the past people didn’t have money, clothes, homes, food and they didn’t have a family.
Now poor people don’t have what they need and some of them don’t have the possibility to work. For pooor children is the one that allow them to go to school and learn, although they want to. There are children who would like to go to school, but they can’t buy everything they need. So, they stay at home. They don’t go to school anymore, because they feel embarrassed.
There are some differences between what poverty meant in the past and what poverty means today. I think that the most important one is that now, unfortunately, few people want to help.
In the past people helped a lot, although they weren’ very rich.
Today not many people help, although they are rich. They have everything they need, but they are not willing to share.
For me, poverty also means being afraid, because homeless people live in the streets and many bad things can happen to them.

“Poverty is like punishment for a crime you didn't commit.”
~Eli Khamarov, Lives of the Cognoscenti

Rich and Poor

by Maria Jurj 5A
School 49, Bucharest

I will tell you a story about two girls: one rich and one poor.

Rich girl

I am a very happy girl! I believe I have everything I can think of: a huge, luxurious house, very expensive dolls or any other toys and expensive, nice clothes.
My mom and my dad work abroad (New York, USA) and I don’t see much of them… I only visit them there from time to time, but I got used to it now…
Well school? What’s this? Oh, yes! I go to school when I have time! I have to go to the mall and buy new things that make me happy first! Homework? Unfortunately I don’t have time for it, either. No problem! Why worry now? I will do it later! I’m busy, I’m going to the travel agency to buy a ticket for New York!
Isn’t it great?

Poor girl

Hello! Let me introduce myself… I am… a girl like any other.. I am… Oh, sorry I’m in such a hurry, but I don’t have enough time: besides my homework for tomorrow and the extra work in math (I’m going to a school contest!) I have to go shopping for fruit and vegetables for my neighbour, lady Mary, who is alone and old. She offers me some money when I help her. This way I can buy bread and sweets for my little brother and sister. So you could say that… I have a job
My mother? Oh, she works very hard in a factory till 11 pm. Unfortunately, my dad died last year, so I have to help my mother. I also do some housework when I can.
I must go now. It’s time for me to buy a newspaper for Mr. Johnson. He is our neighbour, too. He gives us honey from time to time.
I am so happy that I can do something for my family and my friends! When I grow up, I will work hard, too, and I hope I will earn a lot of money for me and my family.

***

Now just think about this… Who do you think is the happiest?

Poverty and social exclusion are very actual topics today, but a lot of people don't want to see the them.
Tinkara, grade 6

The main reason for poorness are unemployment is bad politics. Our country gives a lot of money for the army. This money would be better spent if they gave it to poor people and found new employment options.
Matic, grade 9

I am not poor. My parents have a jo band we have a house, a car and everything that we need for normal life. We don't miss anything. I am very happy, because my brother, my parents and I are healthy. I can say we only see poorness on TV.
Luka, grade 7

Poorness in Slovenia endargers forty percent of Slovenian people, most of them are children who can not go on their vacations. Every day 79 milion people in Europe ask themselves the some
question: 'Do I have enought money for food and education for my children?

Ariadna Titieni - Poorness and Richness

2010-04-19T13:45:00.001-07:00

Poorness and Richness

“ Remember that everyone you meet in this life has something to teach you.”

I think poorness means that somebody hasn’t got something, no matter if it is money, education, food, clothes, friends and so on…

Being poor means more than not having money for a car, for clothes or even worse, for food! People are poor when they are not happy.

The rich think that the poor are just people who aren’t like them, but that’s not right. They will be poor of friends if they continue thinking like this. For both rich and poor people richness means having money, having servants or being very powerful. But you can interpret richness in another way. If you have many friends you are rich of friends, if somebody loves you, you are rich of love. Having or not having money doesn’t make you rich or poor. You have to look inside people’s hearts and see what’s in there, richness or poorness. This is the real meaning of these words.

If somebody is poor of something you have to cry for him and help him, not laugh at him. If somebody is rich of something you have to be glad for him, and not sad or envious because you don’t have the same thing.

I think that rich people (of money) should help financially the poor people (of money). But what if you yourself are not rich of money? Can’t you help people anymore? Of course you can! The people who are rich of something should try to help those who are poor of the same thing, so that they can became rich of it, too. If your heart is rich of love, don’t hesitate to offer it to others who need it, like the children in orphanages. If your head is rich of knowledge, try to teach the others what you yourself have learned through the years. Help a child learn how to read and write and you will also feel rich… in spirit.

“ Listen to your conscience: it will tell you how much to give.”

Poverty

Iulia Samihaian
School 49 Bucharest

Poverty means not having the means for basic human needs (for example, food, water, clothes, shelter).

In the past, especially before the industrial revolution, there were many poor people around the world. The poor had no land, no animals, and so they could not live a decent life. The poor families couldn’t afford to let their children go to school. They didn’t have clean water, health care and many of them got sick. The church used to help poor people in the past. Sometimes the rich also helped those who were in need.

After the wars, poverty spread in a lot of countries, because the economy was down.

Today, poverty is usually associated with not having a job or not having enough money to afford decent conditions for living. Some do not have access to information or to education. In many parts of the world there are people who still have little food, no health care, no clean water.

Today there are more social institutions that take care of those in need. The unemployed receive an unemployment income, there are shelters for people that don’t have a house, there are canteens for the poor, volunteers who take care of the health and education of the poor.

In Romania there are poor people especially in the country-side. Many peasants leave in very poor conditions: they have no running water, no health care, no means to work their land. Many poor children abandon school. In the cities, the unemployed and homeless are given more support.

Poverty in My Eyes

by Alice Lupascu
School 49, Bucharest, Romania

I think that the poor are very unhappy people. They often feel rejected and alone. In my opinion, the poor people must be respected and helped.

Today, the poor people are not as many as in the past, but they still need help. Many of them were born poor, and they cannot do anything to change this. That’s why they need help.

There are a lot of orphans in this world… this is a very sad fact. The orphans have no parents, they live with relatives or in an orphanage. I think they are not very happy, and you can say that they are poor because they do not have family love and support. So they must be helped.

All of them are just people like us and if we were poor, we would like somebody to help us.

I always try to help the poor people, because I want this world to be better. Maybe they have no house, no school, no money and no family, but what is important is to make them feel that they are not alone, that we are trying to help them and make them happy.

Poverty

Laura Vatui
School 49, Bucharest, Romania

What did poverty mean in the past?
In the past, poverty meant that people had no house, no food or just not enough money. In the past people were poorer than now, but they helped each other more. They worked together, they shared things and they were willing to give more.

What does poverty mean today?
This is a question we can answer easily because nowadays there are many poor people.
For many people today, poverty means that you can’t pay your bills, you can’t buy expensive clothes, you haven’t got a big house or you just can’t buy what you want when you want. But there is another type of poverty; it’s when you don’t have a house to live in or you don’t have the every-day food. This is something we don’t want to hear about, but it is real and it is very painful.

How did people use to help each other in the past?
In the past there weren’t special organizations or houses for poor people, so people helped each other by visiting and giving food to each other.

How can you help people in need nowadays?
Nowadays we can donate food, clothes and toys to some special centres for people in need. There are charity organizations such as “Save the Children” or “The Romanian Red Cross”.

Unfortunately, poverty was and still is an awful phenomenon which humanity does not seem able to defeat.

I don't think I look like one, but seriously, I love being a mini-writer. This is a very, very relaxing thing, and I get addicted to it the more I write. I don't only write books, but I also like writing songs. Songs that can express my feelings, my thoughts or my dreams. My friends tell me I should publish them, but I don't know if someone would like them.

Charity in Pivka and around

2010-04-14T09:48:00.000-07:00

Our students have done some research on history of some charity organisations in their home town and nearby villages.

RED CROSS
The records about Red Cross activity around Pivka date in school year 1914/1915. Teachers and students at school were sewing and nitting clothes for soldiers. During the first world war students were also collecting food for Red Cross. Teachers and students were collecting money and gifts for the soldiers at the front. They were given many acknowledgements for their work.
In the 1940s Red Cross was present in most of the villages around Postojna and Pivka. Doctors and nurses were also working for Red Cross and blood donation campaigns were organized. They were also collecting supplies for people (especially during and after the WW2, when a lot of people lost all their possesion). In the 2nd half of the 20th century the members of RC also organized many charity concerts and they helped people to rebuild their homes after severe earthquake in 1970s. In the 1980s young members of RC were helping the old and disabled people. They also provided poor students with school supplies, clothes and food, they organized trips and holidays for children whose parents couldn't afford it ...

KARITAS
Karitas in Slovenia evolved from 'PO Box of Kindness' which was founded in 1969 by a Catholic magazine. In Pivka Karitas started to work in 1991, when a group of young katholic democrats decided that they wanted to help others. They were collecting food at various stores. In warehouses packages were made and sent to people who needed supplies. After the war in Bosnia and Croatia in 1993 there were many refugees who needed help in our area. People who work for Karitas are volunteers and they organize all sorts of activities to collect money. Today they help people who lost their jobs, old and lonely people. They also collect clothes, furniture, they lend hospital beds and other supplies. High school students and other volunteers help elementary school pupils with their homework and studying. They also organize various workshops. Once a year they pay a visit to the residents of nursary home in Postojna. They also take part in other charity activities - this year they were also collecting supplies for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
Here are some thoughts about poverty by mr. Marjan Škvarč, the minister in Pivka:
'People are considered poor if they aren't able to live a normal life. People are poor if they don't have enough money to buy food, clothes, a place to live ... In the past, people were considered poor if they didn't have their own farmland or a job to provide enough food. Nowadays in the western world the situation is different. People are used to spend more, so every limitation is considered as poverty. There is less solidarity than in the past. People used to help each other at their everyday tasks. In the villages people still help each other but in the cities they don't know each other and they don't know if their neighbour needs help. Karitas helps people with food packages and clothes, we also counsel them if they have family problems etc. We also help in missions all around the world.'
Within Karitas in Pivka there's also a group of twelve enthusiasts 'Bejš če uejdeš', who literally build roofs above people's heads. They helped to a lot of people in Slovenia and worldwide (South America, Asia, Africa).

More thoughts and pictures about poverty

2010-04-11T07:51:00.000-07:00

Ana: Poverty means that people don't have money for food and school supplies.

Nika: Poverty is horrible. It means that you have no home, food and clothes.

Patrik: Poverty is bad. You can't afford anything special, you only have one thing.

Katarina: Poverty means that people have no home, they don't have enough money to buy food and they beg in the streets.

Matej F.: Poverty means that you don't have money, food and water.

Poverty

2010-04-11T07:44:00.000-07:00

I think, there is a lot of poverty nowadays. For me this mean that people don't have food, clothes and home. In the past there were a lot of poor people too. Our ancestors lived in poverty, beacuse life in past was less luxurious than today. However, they fought for bread. Today poverty is more painful beacuse a lot of people have good life. Parents want to make their children's life easier (with clothes, food, tehnical things, …). We help people in distress quite a lot. Organizations like Karitas and Red Cross take care of this. Different events for raising money are organized. TV shows help too. In the past there was more help. We hope, that if one day we need help, others will help us too.

Poverty

2010-04-11T07:39:00.000-07:00

The concept of povety, what does this mean to us? On such occasions we usually think about people, who can't live in dignity.
Poverty also means children, who are homeless and hungry wandering with a desire to survive. However, we aren't talking only of material poverty, many people long for love. How will they feel the solidarity and motherhood, if they had never experienced them? In difficult moments they couldn't trust their mother and father.
Even the homeless we sometimes think, that they are fake. But do we think about them, where are they at nights, when we get back to our warm homes? They sleep in the back streets or on benches in parks. It seems disgusting to us, but this is their only solution. But we never think that this can happen to us too.
In Africa, orphans are left to themselves. Barely gatherings, already protect their sisters and brothers. Happy, if they have only one meal in day. The possibility to go to school, isn't given to anyone. Large families are struggling for days to earn a cup of rice. Although a large deficiency they encourage. Poverty requires a high tax. People in desperation steal just to get to jail, because they get a warm meal there.
Taking all of this, imagine how much food we have, abundance, love now when millions of people are waiting for our goodness. Let us have at least bit of compassion.We mustn`t forget that we can be in their place tomorrow.

Dear Fulda,

I'm glad you're back :)

And now for everybody...

I posted a suggestion for the introduction... maybe we can use it if you think it's ok... or you can change what you don't like... or you can find something better, of course :) that was all I could come up with...

Here is the text I posted on the blog:
WE ARE THE WORLD, WE ARE THE FUTURE!We are living difficult times. People everywhere are suffering and they need help.My help, your help, everybody’s help!Mother Teresa once said: ”We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop”.Maybe we are too young to change the world, maybe we do not have the power to build hospitals, schools and houses or to pass laws to protect the needy people... But with a common effort, something can be done to support the unfortunate and fight for change. We can have a different Europe, so let’s ACT NOW!“Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi Let’s offer the world a helping hand for the future.

Anxiously waiting for your comments,
Adia

Dear Fulda,

Thank you for your help. As you suggested me, I used Google Docs and I managed to publish the ppt on our blog. It was quite a victory for me, as I have never done something like this before. I hope I did everything correctly :))) Your last year's blog (thedropoflife) was also helpful. I will definitely use vimeo for the films :) we are preparing, but we haven't finished them, so... they will be online on Monday evening...
I checked www.benettonplay.com. It's great! I will tell my students about it...
I have to get back to work now, so that I can finish the films by tomorrow, as I promissed :)

Our students will make animations about our topic by using www.benettonplay.com site, there is "flipbook" options and our students (and me) like it very much :) you can try it :) then you can send your animations link to me..

Dear All,

Yes, the deadline is 30th April, but I think that the materials should get to the webdesigner at least one week before; I know, from my last year's experience, that working on the site is very time consuming and it takes a lot of effort!

I'm trying to put everything in order and I hope I will be ready by Monday 19th. Most of my students' work is in word documents, so I will post the texts on the blog; we also have pictures and 2 short films (.avi or .wmv). They will be on the blog, too. But we also have 5 powerpoint presentations. What shall I do with them? Shall I e-mail them? What if the files are too large? I know that the gmail can send large e-mails but... or maybe we can use Yahoo Messenger? my yahoo ID: adi_ivascu

I like the banners a lot :) I posted a comment on the blog

Dear Friends,
We are working on our web site with our students, but you know this is not a problem to share our working with and comminicate each other.. :) we have a blog, and we still need a banner, title etc.. we can see our work on the blog and we can decide which one is better..And we have a limited time..

I think our first need is title and banner.. You can send more than one drawing about poverty and we can get together them with photoshop.. And color is important.. Downloading to blog is easier than web site, If you can download your work to our blog, we can collect them and download to web site..
Our students have got a lot of letter from their friends and they help other children periodically. We takes all their photos to share with you.. And Aykut, one of our student, made a film about poverty with pictures getting from google seaching, you can see it on our blog.. And our students made presentations about poverty to share with their friends..

Oh yes, we are working hard to put everything in order... essays, pps, films, pictures... we are still on the Easter holiday, but on Monday we are starting school and the activities for the project. Tomorrow we are visiting some children in hospital... just to offer them some toys, clothes, books and maybe some comfort... they are children with epilepsy, many of them come from needy families and they have to spend a lot of time in the hospital...

I'll get back to you during the weekend

Dear Fulda,

We would like to donate 200 euros, which we collected to one of your friends school in Hakkari. We do not want to give this money to one of our charity organization. Ours schools are not poor, because state carry financialy for all schools in the country, so every school get the same amounth of money. So it is hard to say which school is poor in Slovenia. So, we really want to give this money to this school in Hakkari or one of the other poor school and please give us contact (person, email address or phone number) of this school.

Thank you and love from Slovenia,
Mirjam and Urška

Hello,
Sorry, I'm a bit late but I've had a lot of work at school lately as,I suppose, we all have … We have been working on our activities and Iam going to put some of our students' pictures and essays on our blog .
• Problem 1
As I told you in my prevoius mail, we have the material we need forthe first step of our project - presentation of the team members; Unfortunately, we were not able to access the questions for thePoverty Survey, as you sent it to us as a .docx. And it was only a fewdays ago when I realized they had been posted on our blog!!! I amstill not used to using the blog (I simply forgot about it!!!), but Iam learning :))) In future, if you want to send word documents on thee-mail, will you please save them with the extention .doc? I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry to send you those questions that I didn't realize that I saved them in Word 2007 format. Won't happen again (I hope ;).
• Problem 2
We couldn't establish a conntact with the poor school in Romania weintented to. Just as I told you before, the Ministry of Health and theMinistry of Education forbade any school activities which involvedmeetings or any gatherings, for fear of the swine flu! We collectedthings and money though, but we gave everything to a Charityorganization (Salvati copiiii = Save the Children,www.salvaticopiii.ro), one that is in charge with the administrationof such donations. Of course we took some pictures of our childrenduring the activity. We still haven't given up the idea of meeting thepoor pupils from a village school, but this might not happen very soon.It would be easier for us to raise money if we know exactly where itis going. So if you have the address of the school you were going toget in contact with, we would really want you to send us the address,so we could send the supplies directly to them. Our students arepreparing a carneval dance for the whole school so every pupil and teacher wil be able to contribute some money for this cause. I have collected some essays about poverty and two of my students are working on a powerpoint presentation about poverty around the world. Iwill send the materials when they are ready. But who shall I send themto??? Who is going to organize all the materials? Shall just post themon the blog? This is something I would like to know too. Fulda? Do we send all the materials to you or do we just post them on the blog? Are we going to have a proper web site or is this it? You are probably smiling now, as you can see how good I am at computers :) but please be patient with me... I teach English and I am much more interested in reading in the traditional way rather than reading on the computer. Of course, I use the internet a lot, just to find the information I need in my work... But the blog experience issomething new to me :))) so far I have only read other people's posts on various blogs, but I have never interfered with their"conversations" The answer is, probably, 'post everything on the blog' Am I right? I think you are doing all right :).
I work with computers all the time and haven't posted anything so far … But we are going to get used toit, aren't we?And something more... Can I make some corrections in the questions you posted? I hope you don't mind this... Sure, you are very welcome to correct everything I post. I'm doing mybest but I realize that my English is very poor compared to yours. I'm only a computer teacher ;)

Hope to hear from you soon.

We prepared a lot of masks for karneval and we are going to sell them to our students - so in this way we are planning to collect the money. I am asking you again, please send us addresess of poor schools, if is posssible.

Regarding survey, documents and pictures will give you Adi some informations Meta today in the afternoon. Fulda, what do you thing about all our proposals?
We all have a lot of obligations at school and at our homes, but keep in touch , because the end of a project is coming near.

Our first semestre is about to end in 2 weeks so we are all working hard: students study for their final tests, teachers correct the tests, I'm sure you know what it is like...

All the best,

Adi

Hi Fulda and Adriana,

You have told us in the past that you have some poornes schools in your countries. As we wrote you yesterday, we need addresses of one poor school from Romania and one poor school from Turkey. We are going to collect some charitable donations for them. We would like to send them some school necessaries by post , so we have to know the names of these schools.

Thank you for your answer and have a nice day,

Mirjam

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello,
How are you? We haven't heard from each other for quite a long time. Hope everything is ok ...
We are going to start to collect money for less privileged schools in your countries. Can you, please, send us the addresses of the schools you picked in Romania and Turkey?
We are organizing a carnival dance on February 16th therefore we need the addresses of the schools as soon as possible, because we are preparing the posters and invitations and the names of the schools should be in it.
Students will be selling cookies and other sweets, made by their parents. We are aso preparing some workshops. All the money raised will be used to help the schools in Turkey and Romania. We are going to make a movie about it and we can also make it one of our activity.
How about our web page? We have collected students' gmails and we will send them to you. We also got some pictures about poverty.

Dear Meta,
Sory for Delay, we were in the Feast of the Sacrifice. Last two weeks, our students can't attented their classes mostly. We like your idea very much. I think we need to establish a blog for communication for first step. Do you all have gmail account. I can establish it easly, and we can adjust a calender for follow aour instructions.

We can share our informations here. Then we can collect and download our productions to a web site. You can change theme and other informations after your gmail acoounts are added as an author. I need your e-mail as soon as possible.

Hello, Fulda,
Here's how we would do the website if we were hosting it (the picture represents our idea of the first page):
Each baloon represents a link to one of the activities. When one clicks on a baloon it pops and a corresponding site opens. I made a similar flash once and if we findfind it I can adjust adjust it for our puposes. Then on each activity's site there would be these baloons lined up, each one representing a link to another activity. That is, if you agree, of course …
Let me know, what you think about the idea.

Br, Meta

Here I am with the gmail addresses:

Adi: adia72@gmail.com
Narcisa: narcisapetrescu@gmail.com

In my last e-mail I told you that I will follow this plan:
1. The Team;
2. Facts and official statistics on poverty;
3. Students' essays on poverty;
4. Taking action- what we do to combate poverty (volunteer work, donations, visits to daycare centers or poor school, etc)

What we have done so far:

1. I will get back to you with presentations of our students. We already have them
2. I am trying to prepare a material contain official data, statistics or facts about poverty. But I still have problems finding the right questions for a survey on poverty :(
3. Students have also started to send their essays on poverty, but I have to check them first. We are still working on that.
4. Right now we are collecting things to be donated to a daycare centre. On Monday we will have some pictures, too. Unfortunately we cannot organize any trips or visits to other school, because The Ministry of Health has forbidden activities like these, for fear the students might catch the new flu!!!

I can hardly wait for the holiday to come!!! (16-the Dec to 4-the Jan) Maybe I will have more time to work on this project... Unfortunately we have had a lot of problems because of the new flu and our school was closed for a week (three children were ill, but they recovered quickly). To make things worse, the government also forced as to have 6 days off from work, unpaid of course, just to cut down on their expenses and get some money for the state budget!!! This means even less money for teachers! Right before Christmas!!! Ah! And this Sunday the second round of presidential elections is taking places, a terrible show which seems to divide the whole country into two!!!
So you see, things are not going on great here, but we are holding on :) Maybe the Christmas spirit will get us in a better mood and we will forget about all our worries...

Hope to hear from you soon,
Adi

Hello from Romania, too!

I'm sure you've been waiting for my reply anxiously, wondering why it is not coming sooner :) but all my plans have been ruined by the new flu (swain flu or H1N1)!!! All extracurricular activities have been posponed and several schools have been closed because of students falling ill. Our school has been lucky so far, but who knows what will happen???
I have two children of my own (5 and 3 years old), they go to a public kindergarten and I must tell you that I am really worried about this flu :(((

But... let's be optimistic and get back to work now :)

In my previous e-mail I tried to summarize all the ideas about this project in a short plan which look like this (at least for us, the Romanian team):

1. The team - presentations of schools, students and teachers
2. Poverty in statics and official reports - the survey and other reports
3. Poverty in our eyes, thoughts and hearts - Students about poverty and social exclusion (drawings, essays, interviews, films, PowerPoint presentations, photos,etc)
4. A helping hand for our future - what we do to help people in need, or to change the present situation in order to have a better future
5. Dialogue Room - our communication: e-mail exchanges, videoconferences, etc

What we have done so far:

1. The team

- we have managed to prepare our presentations, though we haven't quite finished yet;

2. Poverty in statics and official reports

- we have done some research (reports, statistics, articles, internet, etc), in order to get factual information about poverty; we are working on a ppt presentation about the global problem of poverty and hunger; we haven't thought of questions for a survey yet;

3. Poverty in our eyes, thoughts and hearts

- students are working on their essays and drawings

4. A helping hand for our future

- unfortunately, the proposed trip to a poor village school is not going to take place for the moment, as all the trips, visits or festivities or shows have been cancelled because of the A(H1N1); I still hope we can do it later, maybe in late February or march, just in time to post the results of the visit on the site... in the meantime, we have to find something else to prove involvement in the process of combating poverty...

- this week - 14-21 Nov- we are organizing different activities for The Global Education Week 2009; the topic of this year is Food for All; we are collecting toys, clothes, books and other things, which will be donated to Day Care Centres for children coming from poor families; we are also going to have a classroom debate on the topic mentioned before

5. Dialogue Room - we do have gmail accounts; I will make a list of all the addresses (students and teachers involved in the project) and send it to you.

As you can see, I write a lot, so that's why it takes me so long to answer you :))) Now my final thoughts for the time being:
Just like Mirjam and Meta, I think the title "A Helping Hand for the Future" is appropriate.
If you want to agree on a deadline for each of the steps mentioned above, just let me know. I usually work more efficiently if I know that I have to be ready by that time :))) So... when shall we finish and send the materials for the first activity, the introduction of the students? Once we have done this, we can go on with the rest of the activities and decide on other deadlines (for statistics, surveys, essays, drawings, presentations- they are already in progress)

Now for Fulda: if I understood correctly, you are going to take care of the webhosting and design, so I suppose it is you that we should be sending the materials to. Am I right? Which means that the deadline for each step should be much of your decision, as I am aware of the time and effort it takes to work on a site.

That's all for now. Hoping that I everything will turn back to normal very soon, and that we will work with no more obstacles,

Adia and Narcisa

Hello,
Sorry, we are a bit late. Last week of October we were on holidays and last week we had a lot of work.

1: They will introduce theirself as first step. And I will prepare a information slayt show about project, and our topic.
We finished this activity. We will send the results this week.

3: Pupils will carry out a survey about poverty in our town and compare the results ...

We are working on a survey questions and we will send them to you.
We are also working on the other two activities.

2. We have a friend School that have less opportunity than our school, and theya are public school, and many parents are poor. Their School is really poor :( We can organise trip, and some activities with them like Romanian friens. As a part of project we can collect some help for them, this gives some ideas to us, we will discuss them..

Can you send us the address of this public school? We are about to collect supplies (pencils, notebooks ...) for them and we can send them by mail.
Our students are going to perform on a school concert and collect some money for them. This is going to be one of activity at our school. We will take photos and shoot video.

3. About web site:
We can host our project website on our shool web site.. As computer club, we can take responsibilities and all helps are wellcome. We can decide design together, and begin to download informations..

We have an idea for the web site layout. I'll send it to you and you will see what you can do about it.

4. About communication, we can do a blog, google blog and share our activities, please look at our last year's blog..
http://thedropoflife.blogspot.com/
we can communicate via blog, what do you think about?
do you all have a gmail account?

We agree. They will all have google account.

All topics are brillant.. We like "Build Bridges, Not Walls!" and "Bridges for a Better Future!" very much..

We think that "Bridges" is a bit worn out. We already had a project called "BRidges" a couple of years ago. We suggest "A helping hand for the future". We suggest that by December 15th the students create a logo for the project.

Br, Mirjam and Meta

Dear Friends,
Sory I'm late to answer you, Iwas very ill and could't go to school for 2 days.. And I have just red your messages. This very nice we are a team now and can begin to work. I want to say Wellcome to Romanian School. :)

And about project,Do you have any suggestion about our topic? I have a idea but may be this is very utopia, I don't know..What do you think about "BRIDGE" as a topic?

Bridge to a school has lower social environment than our school . To learn their life may be interesting experiments for our students..

May be we can choose a school and work together with them. And if we will be winner, we can give money to them.. And during working, we can exchange the experiments each other.I know that means 2 schools from each country and totaly 6 schools, and may be hard to work .. And I'm open to your ideas..

If you have skype we can speak together, but I'm very bussy in school, this may be possible from home, after 18:00 (GMT+2)..I'm waitingyour messeges

Love from Turkey

AN IDEA FOR OUR FIRST PAGE

2009-12-02T23:59:00.000-08:00

Here's how we would do the website if we were hosting it (the picture represents our idea of the first page):
Each baloon represents a link to one of the activities. When one clicks on a baloon it pops and a corresponding site opens. I made a similar flash once and if we findfind it I can adjust adjust it for our puposes. Then on each activity's site there would be these baloons lined up, each one representing a link to another activity. That is, if you agree, of course …
Let me know, what you think about the idea.

Br, Meta
