Today was a struggle and then some. lol. I'm part of the Trade Justice and Peace Group at school, and as part of it, we arrange activities and organise events to help raise money for charity. Today, I went without food for twelve hours as part of a sponsored fast to raise money for a charity called Streetchild Africa which we've been helping. They help children who are homeless and living on the streets of Africa. We had to watch a video about them showing children as young as five sniffing glue which makes the hunger they feel go away, and it was heartbreaking. So we decided to go without food (while being sponsored by people) and experience the same thing as those children experience every day. It was really hard and I was absolutely starving all day, but I feel really proud of myself! :] I feel so accomplished! You really get a feeling of how much horror those children go through! I mean, I felt pretty awful just doing it for twelve hours, but they have to suffer it all the time, day and night. I raised £24 from sponsors. I hope everyone else raised just as much and I hope our money goes towards making a difference to those children's lives. :] In other news! I'm doing Paired Reading along with some other 5th years to help 1st years who have problems reading and to help develop their skills. It should feel good to know that we're helping them along. I didn't see my little first year today though. He was away giving in a punishment exercise! lmao! Great start, eh? We were all predicting him being a wee demon child or something. :P I'm staying at Louis' on Friday night. We're putting a tent up. Inside his bedroom. lmao! Cos it'll be all the fun of camping.....only without the cold and wind and rain! :] Ciao. Le David xxxxx |
