GI Blog Reflection

Take a look at my GI Blog here (link it to the work here).
The SLR I mainly use in this blog is communicate effectively because we need to communicate ourselves to have more ideas and actions to end the poor peoples poverty.

Here are some of the things that we have done this trimester:
We have learned about the UN Millennium Development Goals.
We have planned, run and reflected on Peace Day.
We have invested money in the Angkor Wat marathon and we earned 2,500. Enough money for the people to buy medicine for 2 years.
We have played the simulation game Third World Farmer and we learned a lot about how some people in L.E.D.C's meet their basic needs and how they have fewer choices than us. Take a look at my reflection here. The SLRS I mainly use in this are communicate effectively, collaborate constructively, and living ethically because we collaborate and communicate together to come up with some ideas, donating money, getting ideas about an event, etc.

We also played another simulation game called Ayiti - Cost of Life. This taught me a lot about life in Haiti, and why the earthquake was so devastating there. Take a look at my reflection here (upload to the word here).

What did you think of the course?
I think that ISKL Global Issues class are taking a lot of actions to help the world, learning what is happening other countries, taking a lot of actions right now! And I am happy and grateful that Global Issues class are just taking chances to save the world to have Peace and Harmony.
What was the most amazing thing you learned? I thought about that people are living peacefully. But I was wrong, there was a disease called AIDS and HIV. These disease are the ones, that are making other poor people suffering. And I want to take action to stop the AIDS and HIV. How can I stop them? Not a problem! I can spread the word to all the people I know, and we could donate money to help them to buy medications. And I heard that, if they have money, they would have more medications last till 2 years, and it is really long. Not only the medications, they can use the money to buy proper dress to have job, get money, and when you have money, you could use it to go to school, and have education, and with more education, you have more money.
What do you think will be most useful to your in the future?
That the world we live in was living happiness with other people. NO WAR!
How was this course empowering to you?
The course is pushing me to rise, and taking actions to help people suffering, and to end their poverty.
If you had to sum up this course in one sentence what would it be?
We need to save the world and end the poverty of poor peoples.
Pictures....maybe something about the MDG’s.......

GIRL UP- Response

What kind of a revolution is it referring to?
The United Nation in Girl Up, they take action to help the poor students who have less education, because education could save them.

What do you think about this article?
The article are very interesting and I am really am amazed, because they take actions to help pupils who have less education into better. And with education, they would learned more, and they can have better jobs to earn more money and with money, they will be rich and healthy. With education, it could also avoid disease like AIDS and HIV

Make comparisons between your life and the situation here for a 12 year old girl.
Comment on this quote, "There are countless reasons rescuing girls is the right thing to do. It's also the smart thing to do."
Do some research into GIRL UP - what are their aims, how could we be involved, what do you think about the idea?
My life, we ISKL are all rich with a lot of education. But, the girls are having less education, and we feel grateful, but upset about them. I wanted to save them all, but I don't think that I would have the confident to do it, because I am too young to help them. But when I am older, I might get the chance to help them!
I think the quote means that they don't have many problems saving girls, and it is a right things to save them. And it is a good idea to do it.
Their aim is to help the 12 year old girls who have less education, to help their education into better. So that they could live in an easier life. We could make an account to join them, and we could make comments to help them. We could also tell or post the event of what the United Nations doing to support them or to help them.
The idea about the United Nations are doing are really generous because, helping students of girls to have a better education could save everything, and I am suggesting that I would help the United Nation.
