Kind Project Malawi

“Every child has a different learning style and pace. Each child is unique, not only capable of learning, but also capable of succeeding.” First of all, what do you think this quote means? To me, this quote encourages kids to work harder in school. What if I told you that there might be another way to get kids to work harder in school? Well, now there is! If kids got paid for good grades, kids might work harder in class. But, should kids be paid for good grades? If you want to find out, I suggest you keep on reading.

The money raised would go to The Great Ormond Street Hospital. We want to allow curiosity within children so they find their own route to learn and develop confidence to discover something new (Bragg and Manchester, 2011). Therefore children will also learn about the benefits of buying fair trade or locally and about ethical decisions and how the choices they make affect farmers elsewhere. The activities are engaging, practical, fun and creative and keep in mind that a future of unexpected change results in ensuring cross-curricular methods encourage group solutions, collaborative learning, creative combinations and independent learning (Barnes, 2015).

Participating in the project made me aware of the things I want to do to help children when I become a Social Worker, and the project renewed my love for service. I would recommend this project to a community because once you realize that your one or two book packs where included in a huge cause, it makes a person actually feel like they made a difference. Just imagine 400 book packs from only 12 of 992 chapters. When I do the math and every 12 chapters bring 400 book packs that’s about 33,066 book packs and about

I am very impressed with the concept of the Abecedarian Project. I especially admire that its focus is to help those in poverty, who are usually those who are in the greatest need of help in order to break the cycle of poverty. This provides a more holistic approach since not only is it beneficial to the mother as it provides educational games and increases employment opportunity for the mother, but also promotes breaking the cycle of poverty and helping to launch impoverished children out of and over expectations for a disadvantaged community. I also appreciated that the project used play in order to teach, which is often more effective and lasting than “book learning,” especially at such a young age.

Education is a key factor to reduce and prevent global poverty. If someone in poverty graduated from college they would have a 86% chance to move up the income ladder. Education is emphasized by Mathabane in the text Kaffir Boy when he states “Education will open doors where none seem to exist” (par.1). Education is an important way to keeps kids off the streets. Going to school and recieving homework gives kids something to do rather then them being on the streets where they could possibly end up joining a gang. Mathabane adds another element to the idea of education by asserting that “An education will get you a decent job. If you can read and write you’ll be better off than those of us who can’t” (pg.11) People who have been educated have more chances of getting a job than those who haven’t. Although education may be an important aspect in order to escape poverty, more may be

This project benefited me personally because it allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. I am somewhat of a shy person; and this project put me in uncomfortable situations where I had to contact various business managers and request to put a donation box in their establishment. Many of these businesses denied my request, but by the fifth or sixth call, my discomfort of talking to strangers was gone.

In January of 2015, I experienced a mission trip in Guatemala. Although the trip taught me a lot about both myself, and the people and culture of Guatemala, one of the more prominent realizations I had was that the Guatemalan children had so little resources to get a quality education in life, yet they were still eager to learn. For example, each child was required to wear a pair of black dress shoes to school. Since many could not afford to pay for these shoes, they each walked to the missionary compound, no matter how far, to get a free pair of shoes that were offered. Additionally, many of the kids were more inclined to attend a short church lesson after eating dinner than play with their friends. After experiencing this dramatic change

First, he asks, “how can I improve?” You can always be actively doing something to improve yourself. This may be going out in your community or globally and helping people in any way that you can. You should not let money come between you and what your character could be. Lastly, he says, “those who are given the most, should do the most.” In this quote, he is saying, if someone has more resources given to them, they should use those resources to help others who do not have as many as they need. Investing in people is the most important thing you can do.

All of this leads into how being helpful can help families that are in poverty and also how to get out of poverty. Poverty is a horrible thing to be in. That’s why everyone says stay in school and get a really great education so, then it won’t be hard finding a great job. If finishing school is an issue, it's going to be really hard time finding a job that will help stay out of poverty.

The quotation is quite relevant because it has a great message in it. It is true that in the current generation that we are living in, individuals are going to school not only to get educated but also for some attention. Therefore, this has been a prevalent behavior, especially in the big schools all over. Education has been compromised because those that are in school are not there to get educated but to gain attention, to express themselves, as well as to be isolated from others because of their social status (Hannon, 28). The great schools have been set up especially for those that are financially able to cope with the conditions there. Discrimination in these great schools is prevalent since the rich take their children to such schools away from the poor in the society.

The United States should increase foreign aid in Malawi; we have the resources and capital, the medical technology needed for assistance, as well as knowledge to

Swaziland is a developing country that is facing many problems which can only be solved through political reform. Swaziland is located in south-eastern Africa and is the last country in Africa to still have an absolute monarchy. This country has a large health problem, including the highest rate of HIV in Africa. Swaziland’s monarch, King Mswati lll, holds all of the power. Swaziland’s economy is stagnant and its economic growth is steadily declining While the king lives a life of luxury, over fifty percent of the population of Swaziland live in poverty. Swaziland is also a landlocked country located in an area in which tropical storms are not uncommon. Swaziland is continuing to struggle as a developing country for these reasons.

It was stated in the article, “Zimbabwe Health Care, Paid With Peanuts” that, Mugabe’s [the president‘s] continued domination of political life, along with persistent violations of the rule of law and human rights, have deterred foreign aid and investment needed to rebuild the nation’s shattered economy” (Dugger, 1). Not only is the government corrupt, but, under Mugabe, it was not in favor of its people. For an agrarian based country, fertile land and clean water

Even though the mother nation builds educational and medical facilities in a colony, they do not take good care of these facilities, causing them to fail. The medical technology would be so poor it would not stop the spreading of diseases. In addition, poor education leads to a poor society, (Effects of Poor-Quality Education) This quote illustrates the negative effect of having poor schools as it highlights that a poor society is a result of poor education. A mother

This NGO project brought a significant change in our lives. Initially we were not sure that how such a project would benefit us. But after starting our NGO project we understood the significance of the project and reasons for making NGO project an essential part of the curriculum at ITM business school.
