Yo sup, I have more knowledge to share~

Summary

Working with Zambia's Ministry of Education and EDC, they aim to provide access to full primary education through radio distance learning to 800,000 orphans and vulnerable children

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

800,000 Zambian children cannot attend formal education, as they live too far from a school or are AIDS orphans or children from desperately poor families. Adding to the problem, many teachers in Zambia fall sick and die of AIDS. In a sweeping effort to combat illiteracy and improve life skills, the Ministry's Education Broadcasting Service has implemented highly successful radio instruction. It covers the primary school curriculum, and is called "Learning at Taonga Market."

How will this project solve this problem?

In remote Zambian villages, a literate volunteer is trained as a mentor. They are given a Lifeline radio. Using Interactive Radio Instruction created by US-based Educational Development Center (EDC), mentors lead children through grade school lessons

Potential Long Term Impact

This project will help create a literate population in Zambia. More than 220,000 children have benefited to date. They test as well as children attending formal school, score a little higher in math, and complete grade levels in half the time

Project Message

"I cannot believe what I am seeing! Many children have no pen or pencil and are doing complicated fractions and division problems in their heads. They also have learned English and spelling!" - Mr. Misinde Phiri, of World Vision.

I found this article off UNICEF, it describes a project Zambia is doing to promote and enable children to get more accessible educational opportunities.

I'd make a fantastic salesman :D

THIS STORY IS SO CRITICAL TO THE WORLD THAT

IT'S PROBABLY AT THE TOP OF EVERY NEWS SITE I VISIT. OH MY GAWDSH, SHE MUST BE THE 1^ST TEENAGER TO EVER DO DRUGS AND SHE’S FAMOUS. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD WE LIVE IN!?!? DEAR LORD, WHERE ARE HER MORALS? Meanwhile, 3 boys are missing in Michigan, ‘Corrective Rape' in South Africa is still a problem AND the UN voted to accept execution of gays, and it’s unimportant because MILEY CYRUS SMOKED A BONG. 

Fatimah Bamun, (BALIZENDA, Ethiopia) dropped out of Balizenda Primary School in grade 1 when her father refused to buy her pencils and paper. WOW, FATHER OF THE YEAR~ This is pretty harsh but actually kids around the globe don't have education because of reasons like this. They don't have enough money and so they have to provide for their families instead of work.

In sub-Saharan Africa, school fees consume nearly a quarter of a poor family's income, paying not only for tuition, but also indirect fees such as Parent-Teacher Association and community contributions, textbook fees, compulsory uniforms and other charges. FEES ARE KEEPING SCHOOL CHILDREN OUT OF THE CLASSROOMS. BUT WAIT. In order to deliver on the global promise to get all children quality primary education by 2015, the UN system is rallying partners around innovative policy measures and bold initiatives such as the abolition of school fees.

Roughly estimated 700 million primary-school-age children in the world today, about 93 million aren`t in school. A majority of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Mostly children of ethnic minorities from remote regions, working children, children living in conditions of emergency and conflict, children affected by HIV/AIDS, and children with disabilities. And 53 per cent – girls.

We watched Othello

“Put thy money in thy purse”

A quote Monica needs to obey. I mean she drops loose change ALL THE time. The money is just in her bag pocket which gets thrown around and when it does, I need to help her pick it up. Othello was a pretty good play when you look behind the old English and the many deaths. I really think Mr.Sauer has bad taste in men. How could he have a man-crush on Iago? Eww. Iago’s so mean! I mean not even just mean, he was kinda devious. Sauer kept bragging about how Iago was so intelligent and made a web of lies and was just so cool. I mean, i'm not braggin' but I've gotten away with more greatly intellectually required thinknig for some of the devious tihngs I get away with. I mean honestly. He’s a jerk who is selfish and caused the death of everyone. He made things so complicated and everything backfired. I kinda idolize him. So devious... 

I think my favorite character would have to be Iago. Devious, made everything interesting, so mysterious. How he wants to get everything he wants and goes through alot of effort too, but in the end he didn't do much work. His hands wern't soiled with blood or anything. You’re probably thinking why him? Yes, he is a cool and smart man. Making people his pawns, but he failed in the end. He managed to lead to the deaths of many, I kinda like evil characters. Amazing.

I real didn’t find Othello as amazing as everyone else did. I found it kinda of boring and dreary. It made me tired and depressed. I was totally uninterested. I however liked how I couldbn't understand the writing of what he was saying but I liked it whenever I learned what I meant because it is cool, shakespears language. It makes me think hard about what he could mean and how come he said it like that. Old english really amazes me. If you thought this book was amazing, then go read naruto or bleach, 100000000x more amazing. But for an old time play, this was aiight.
