Oil Spill

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/nation/interactive-oil-spill-map/

I looked at this interactive map on the link above of the oil spill spreading day by day.
More than 436,236 gallon of dispersant were sprayed in efforts to clean up the oil spill on the gulf of Mexico.

The Bread Project

4 things I learned from the hunger website were.........

1. Between 2007 and 2008, the number of children living in poverty grew by 744,000.

2. Children who are hungry may have impaired cognitive functioning and may have a diminished capacity to learn.

3.  Whole grains may lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

4. Whole grains are a good source of fiber.

Adults and children

The ted video has a young girl speaking about adults learning from children.

The organization I work with is called Youth Action. Youth Action is a community service program for young people between the ages of 14-23. We have adult allies to help us with fundraising and planning. This organization gives teens the chance to do volunteering for the community. The members of youth action come up with service projects that they are interested in, we then implement the service project, we go out and volunteer! My Organization is an example of adults leaning from children.
