How Good?
I think a lot of the comments we got as part of our effort to help the conflict in Darfur will really have an impact on what the government does about their struggles because about all of the well written comments. We may think that this going to help because we are just kids and a lot of people think kids have no impact on anything but we do which is why we decided to do this blog. But when you look back at it and see the 677 comments that 1-12 graders wrote you can see that we were well taught about the situation so we know what to say. I think this whole experience was a good thing to teach us about world events instead of learning from a text book like most people do.
Looking Back
Through this whole project about Darfur we have all learned new things a have taught others a little about out work. We don’t really work like other teachers or students because we don’t only hand in worksheets we use the computer and study world wide issues. Doing this is going to help the darfurians in their struggles of life so that maybe, if not them then their kids, will be able to wake up every morning and not be afraid of getting killed or raped.
Boycotting the Olympics
OLYMPICS What do they mean? This year they are going to be held in Beijing , China . That also means that China will be able to have the biggest impact on the conflict in Sudan . They are Sudan ’s biggest ally since that is where China gets most of their oil so they choose not to jeopardize their relationship then get in the way and help. Because of this many people will lose their lives. To help Sudan we can’t support the Olympics. Every one in the world likes and watches the Olympics but they don’t know what is behind it. This year the tragedy in Darfur is behind it but is finally sure to be heard. We are trying to get the people that are working in the Olympics to boycott in our effort to help the darfurians. Steven Spielberg was one of the art people helping but quit when he found out that they weren’t doing anything. If China did anything they would have one of the biggest impacts then anyone else in the UN. The UN is trying to help but China will stand up for them and keep the UN from doing anything. Now since they are feeling pressured to help they are starting to crack an\d just maybe we will be able to help the citizens in Darfur . Again in our effort to help Sudan we can’t support the Olympics. If we do as much as we have before then the people of the government will not see how much we care about them. So as al final say in this, do as much as you possibly can to help us save Darfur .
