Adelaide Australia. We just started a new Social Studies Project, I have to pretend that i am a worker for a company bassed in winnipeg looking for a place to open a new office. I have picked to try and perswade “the company” to open a company in Adelaide Austrailia.

I just  got started today but ive allready  got a fair amount of reseach done, It is a beutiful place. The housing prices are lower than in canada, But it coasts alot to fly there. I did a search on air canada to see how mucha a one way ticket would coast for 1 adult it coast nearly 4000.00$ canadian dollars from winnipeg. Adelaide is  full of beutiful gardens and senary .It is the 5th largest city in Australia with around 1.1 million people. Its located in South Australia. To me it sounds like a prefect place to open a pretend office.

         We have recently started reading a new book in class called The Wave it is a true story, It is about a teacher who is trying to get his students interested and get them to understand the depth of the topic at hand. Hitler and the Nazi Germany war.

        In the beginning it starts of with a student who is upset because no one is writing stories for the grapevine Their school news paper which she happens to be Editor and chief of.  Ben Ross her history teacher decides that day to show them a film of pictures on the Holocaust and the concentration camps, Laurine and her friends Amy are very upset about this film it turns something deep inside them. The rest of the class doesn’t really seem to care to much about it They think its part of the past there is nothing we can do about it so why bother feeling bad. Laurine asked Ben Ross her History class why didn’t the other Germans the ones who where against  it why did they  let  him do this. The teacher simply doesn’t have an answer. He goes home and  read books upon books on the topic.

 I think that  they will end up doing a large class project on world war 2.  We already  know that  they do  some kind of a reenactment. I think that Laurine and Amy will be all for it but the  rest  of the  class will think it  is  really weird and just make a joke out of it much like my class would. I think that It is normal for a few people to really care about a topic and the  rest  not so much. I think that  things are going to go bad really bad with this project .

Bye,

    War Child is a great Program that goes all over the world to areas effected by war. What they do is truly amazing they help Kid’s  who have been effected by war . Often They help Child Soilders. These kids really had no childhood they where recruited at a young age  They have experienced and done things that parents wouldn’t even want for them selves let alone their children . They are often strung out on drugs for years on end They are brainwashed and turned into killing machines. It is a terrible truth And War child is help thees Kids who grew up in a really big hurry, get some of their childhood back and become some what a regular child again.

Their mission is to help war-affected Kidsbecome kids again. They started out doing alot of work out of Africa, They are curentlry  working In Afganistan & North korea with the children.  This is a great oraganization and is doing alot to help these kids for more info go to their website.

                 On February 4Th 2009 a class was held in Nata Primary school for grade sevens on HIV/AIDS and the prevention of it this was done by Peter Martinez . It was reported that  the class was a great sucess  although the  children where shy about asking questions or commenting on  the topic. It is scheduled that there will be a class some time soon in the school on STI’s .

I think this is very important for their school to be doing especiallybecause there is such a large amount of HIV/AIDS in Nata village , it is  curtail that these kid’s learn  how to prevent getting and transmitting the diseases so that  the amount of AIDS does  not  continue  to increase in Nata. Although I  also think they  should be educating Kid’s a lot younger than grade 7  they  should begin to educate the kid’s in Nata about HIV/AIDS as soon as the kids are able to understand what it is .
