Yesterday you met Neil Tubb and heard his presentation on Project Hope.  Looking at the pictures and having heard what he said, what rights for these children are now being met?

Read in GV pp 23-34.  Consider the following:

• What rights are being violated and what are being upheld in these short columns?
• What prevents the rights from being up-held?  
• What role does education play in changing the situation for the poor in developing countries?
• What can you, personally, do to help create change?
• At the top of this blog it says "If we do not understand why something is wrong, we cannot make it right."  Do you agree with this statement?  If it is true, why did the lessons learned from the Holocaust not prevent the Rwandan genocide?

 When you have considered these, go into the library, log in to your blog and write a reflection on your reading and these questions.

Homework:  Read pp 37-45 in GV.
