Freedom From Poverty

We studied poverty today and at snack today we could only eat one thing because some people in other countries have nothing to eat. We found out that in 3 1/2 seconds, someone in the world dies from poverty related causes. We're having a pizza lunch as a fundraiser for 5 Days For Freedom. We are also trying to can the principal by bringing in lots of food. We want to fill her door up with food so she can't out. The food is going to the local food bank. - Bethany and Mrs. Robinson

Today we read "One Hen" about a kid named Kojo who saved to buy one hen. A year later he had enough money that he had saved from selling the chicken's eggs to buy 25 hens. He eventually bought land to have his own chicken farm, and he helped other families by giving them loans to start their own businesses. This way he helped the people of Ghana to get out of poverty and live a better life. - Carter and Mrs. Robinson
