Making the Invisible Visible

HIVAdis in malaysia is something I haven though about. The invisible problem such as discrimination and stigma associated with HIV Adis. first of all the ishouse are.how to pevent speding HIV Adis,how to change the perspective of poeple that have Adis to rase awareness . This is important because it gives us and understanding of peoples suffering who have HIV. We have learned that we can pervent to be more aware of HIV Aids in the Cumminty. We have learned how to suporte young kids that can get HIV for example though breastfeeding and blood transfustiotion. The most important part that we have learned was the impact  women and childern as fastest growning group, for example men are haveing affairs and giving HIV to their kids. This shows that we can make a difference and prevent HIV spreading to Women and there kids. We can do something about HIV and we can find away to help out the people and stop discrimination. 

Dictators are people who have total control over any country. Many have a negative influence over their people and their country for example in Russia President Putin took away 3 young girls to jail because they were just expressing their feels about Putin Government and rules, this is an example of taking away their rights to speek out. There are many ways taking out a dictator one of those many ways are protesting just like Pussy Riot did performing on the steps of the Kremlin. Protesting was not the best for them because they went to jail but their voice was heard by many people though the Press. Another way to take out a dictator is by assassination, for example in Julius Casear when the conspirators got together and planed out how they should kill Casear they disquieted to assassinate him, it worked in away that they got rid of a abusive power freak but civil war broke out. Lastly how to get rid of a dictator could be though embargo which means getting people from the outside world and the inside to agree to go up against a powerful leader. 

What is Chaeli Mycroft Fighting for?

What is Chaeli Mycroft fighting for?

Just because the disabled people in our world can’t do lots of things that does not mean that they are not capable of having a fulfilling life. Born with cerebral palsy, Chaeli Mycroft is an amazing young girl from South Africa who won the International Peace Prize in 2011 for the incredible work she has done for disabled kids who need equipment and the helping hand of technology. So far she has helped over 3000 disabled kids in South Africa today to improve their lives so they can experience a better life. Chaeli understands how they feel as she was born disabled so she knows how difficult it is for other disabled kids to move around and to live  life the way they want to. Chaeli is inspired to fight for the rights of disabled kids. She works to inspire other disabled kids to create their own community program to help other disabled kids, this is what she is fighting for.

Chaeli is fighting to inspire other kids to set up their own community program so they can help other disabled kids and themselves.
Chaeli felt independent and free when she got her first motorized wheelchair at the age of 9. In a short period of time they received more than their goal. Chalie wanted to give disabled children the equipment and the ability to  move around, so they could have the same freedom, just like Chaeli had.  "At the age of 9, Chaeli and her friends and sister started a project to raise money to buy a motorized wheelchair for Chaeli. In just seven weeks they raised more than enough money, so Chaeli decided to help more disabled children"
Because of her own experience of raising  money with her own friends and sister she was inspired to set up a network community of children between 12-14 years of age as a way to spread the message of believing in yourself and doing this for others. 
Chaeli’s community has become an organisation and spread all over South Africa. In the article it says of her organisation, "This project has become the Chaeli Campaign, a professional organization that annually helps more than 3000 children with disabilities in South Africa with equipment, physical therapy and which defends the rights and acceptance of disabled children.

She did this all because her friends helped her to make and sell postcards and flowerpots to get the money to get her first motorized wheelchair. It was out of this that the Chaeli Campaign began.When Chaeli got her first motorized wheelchair she felt independent and free. She wanted to give this opportunity to other kids who have disabilities.
Chaeli’s and her friends efforts to raise money for her own wheelchair has inspired many other kids in her situation to believe in themselves and create their own community so they can also make a difference to the lives of other disabled kids.


Conclusion
Chaeli’s vision has been inspirational to others especially for the disabled kids in South Africa who have much more freedom because of the equipment she helped them get through her campaign. She has made a difference to the lives of these children who otherwise wouldn’t have the ability to move around freely. She has inspired many more South African disabled kids to create their own community program who were so glad to have Chaeli give a hand.Chaeli has made a difference by fighting to inspire other disabled kids to set up their own community and fighting for the rights of disabled children. The Chaeli campaign has grown a lot through this. Disabled kids in South Africa now have ways to fight for their own rights by joining or making a community program. This has given these kids greater motivation and an opportunity to lift themselves and others out of their way of living. It is important to her that disabled kids are treated no differently to non-disabled kids and that they are not made fun of and left behind to struggle on their own. If we also play our part in all of this, then a world for disabled kids can be better with more opportunities. Chaili is an inspiration to all of us. We need to open our hearts and start to listen to the kids dreams and make a change. Let’s make a difference by standing up and doing the right thing.

Tatyana Harrison Bergeron: Commentary

 C: we have to be careful about commentary today because sometimes we may take it a bit too far on making people equal to the point were we loose the butiey  of our differences.

E: They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. But he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts.

I: In this quote Gorge knows that he is missing out on the beauty of the dancers just because of his handicaps that make him not process his ideas and thoughts.

My life and my Friends.

I am from tall grass
And shady trees
Where I ride the golf cart until the battery dies.
I am from where mama calls baby girl time to eat

I am from where "Howdy y’all", means good morning or "how are ya".
I am from cow parade to Texas chilli.
I am from walking on the big hay bales in Crosby

I am from hay raids and caroling on Christmas eve
Dashing through the snow.
Where I ride or drive my Poppo's big golf cart.
I am from were my grandfathers sandstone inlaid into a gold ring passed down to me when he passed away.

I am from big fields driving my grandpas big truck
Where I drive the tractor with my daddy behind me.
I am from where my daddy taught me how to shoot a beebee gun
And were cousin Karl showed me how to aim right at the target.

I am from where a dear friend calls "hey sweetie", to greet me in the morning. That was out thing.
These are my sweet jelly bean moments.

All about me.

Blue eyes, brown hair, short
A blue hair tie, panther face on my shirt
Two earrings shaped like peace signs with the colors all gone.
Use to be a cheerleader called the Ravens, volleyball player on the ISKL team.
Have blue, white, lemon green inside and outside of my shoes.

Have a smaller pinky than a lot of my friends, adopted from Russia.
Part Russian and part American, Go to ISKL.
Live in Malaysia, use to live in Houston Texas, when I was little I use to live back in Russia.

Love to travel. My dream is to travel around the world once.
I am a PADI Diver, love to see my friends back home, love to go to the beach and spend my days with My family. My favorite team are the Texas Longhorns( Football team), My other favorite team are the Astros, (baseball team), have a huge family, my favorite TV show would be The Three Stooges ( Black And White, the new color movie one).

Hate monkeys but love to see them at the zoo behind bars.
Have a collection of wooden eggs, wear a uniform for my school kind of like it, love ISKL. Love to go to Schlitterbahn. Nothing I have in my pockets for now.
ME...



Reflection

Is a personal identity worth fighting for?
Yes because you are protecting who you are. We have our right to stand up for are self's and others. for an example we have to right to vote, speech, and more. if we had no identity we would not even be humans. in our society we need our identity to fine how are friends are or find out who we are even.

First example: Orange
Second example: Blue

This is the one I would like to do is Standing up to oppression takes great individual courage.
It does take a lot of courage to stand up to someone is in a higher rank or has more power then you. For an example Rosa Parks she was standing up for what she believe in like back then they would have a special place on the bus for black people. But Rosa had enough of White people telling her what to do and where to sit just because she was black. One day when Rosa was sitting in a White persons sit she would not get up and when the White person got on the bus he or she told Rosa to get up you are in my seat. But Rosa would not get up just because she was tired of people telling what to do just of her skin color. I did not tell you this before I should have but Rosa was not just standing up for her self she was standing up for all of the Black people. Rose told the White person "Why should I get up and move to the back of the bus?" She was trying to stand up for her at that point. The sad thing that happened was that Rosa got arrested for not going to the back of the bus because back in that time it was a law that the black people had to sit in the back of the bus and the white had to stay as far as they could from the black people like Rosa. The nice thing that happened is that everybody heard Rosa stand up for all of the black people and in this time it is not a rule black have to sit in the back now it is a free county. Another example from the middle ages is Jon Ball was standing up from the poll tax people because he was confuse why did the villages people had to pay and be in slaved and why did they have to give the poll tax their money and every time they ask the poll tax would be raising up the price it would first be like 2 shillings then when they keep asking why why do we have to pay then the king or the poll tax would raise it up to 4 shillings and that is a lot for the villages people 2 is hard already. But Jon Ball was standing up for everyone to save their money and their lives I guess. Thomas Baker and Jon Ball started the Rebellion together because when Jon Ball was standing up to the Poll Tax people they started the rebellion but just trying to stand up for everyone. I guess?.
