Bonus Assignment

I think our school should support poverty because it has become a big factor in today's world. Here are some of the interesting facts on poverty:
- At least 80% of humanity lives on less 1$ a day
- Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century without being able to read or write
- 1 percent of the money spent on weapons in US could have funded for the education of every single child living in poverty
- every second child born is known to be living in poverty
- 400 million people in the world don't have access to clean water
-half of the people in the world have health problems related to water and sanitation deficits
- 1 in 7 people have no access to heath services
- 1-5 people have no access to clean water
- 1-3 do not have adequate shelter
Here is something we could do as a school to support poverty in the world
-I think we should start a orphanage in a country like India, China or Africa where the poverty percentage rates are very high
Here are some things we can do to raise the money for the orphanage
- start making art creations that can sell for a well-ranged price
- have a bake-sale to raise money
- do the same thing for hoops for heart except as skip for orphans
