The 1st Peace day project (Peace assembly)

Since the Peace day is coming, on September 21, our global issues class and other global issues class started to prepair the project. We started to take a parts like bringing a music, disign the T-shirt, drama and etc. Also, the most huge thing is the accembly! Our teacher told us that we are going to do the dance on the accembly for the peace day. So, we practiced our dance in the class and also we saw in the you tube to practice at home. Still, me and my friend thought we still doesn't get the dance, and we even thought do we need to dance in the accembly. However, in the real accembly, we tried our best to get the each things right, and after that, the thought the dance really helped for the peace day in ISKL and also we had fun with it. So, everytime when we hear the song, I always remember the accembly.

Then, we also delivered the CD to homegroup teachers which are about 15 songs in it, and our teacher told us that we have to say this, "Sorry for interrupt, but this is a special delivery from global issues, Peace." and that made all the class embarrassing!! We know that we have to say that, but the word "Peace" with the two fingers from all the class was really something... however, no choice for us. We just went out to deliver. Yay, but for me, I was not really embarrassing because for 3 people, the 2 teachers didn't have a class!! So I only just did a embarrassing thing once, in Mr. Thomas's class.

So, that was the successfuly done, but however, we still have our projects to finish. That will be in the other post!

The 2nd Peace day project

Like what I said in 1st story, my Global Issues class did a huge project for Peace day on September 21. We had been prepared about 3 weeks ago, dancing, gathering musics, design the Peace T-shirts, also to bake a cookie. Wow, we did a lot...

After assembly, our class got a jobs, and me, Harry and Avni got a same jobs. Our job was to make a heart with a corn and ask people to go in to the corn, and take a picture. I thought that was easy, that just ask people to stand inside a corn and take a picture, but my thought was wrong. We took about 15 minutes to set up the heart, and calling people to stand inside a corn. However, thankfully some of my friends helped us and the teachers, so we finished it by 40 minutes.

After finishing our important job, me and Harry went back to the global issues class. There was a lot of people talking and listening a peace music and face painting. During eating a cookies for peace day, I felt the taste of that cookie was different that others. It was more delicious, and this is my thought, but I felt there was kindnesses and happy inside a cookie. The global issues class mood was really peaceful. People give a cookies to others, talking with their friends, and music that connected to peace... The atmosphere in the global issues class was filled with peace, happy, and kindnesses.

As we finished our huge project, we gathered all our money that we earned by selling a peace cookies. Wow!!! The results were great. Our class gathered 611RM for only selling a cookies and that was only just a 40 minutes! I was really surprised that how can we gather that much money in only 45 minutes? Anyway, our global issues teacher told us that our money will be used to make a marathon T shirts for the team who will run in the Cambodia.

Peace one day vidio

1) What big ideas did you get from watching it?
-I think the big ideas in the vidio is about peace, and tells that people in all over the world need to care about peace day and help each other.
2) Why is peace so important?
-The meaning of Peace is that all the people in the world need to respect, help, and be honest to other people. If there are no such thing like peace, there will be a war or all the people will hate each other.
3) What are the links between peace and development?
-There are connection between peace and development. If the country gets developed, and earn money, they will use those money to make a medicine for sick people and also helps another country. That's peace. Peace is to help people when they need help, not a hate.
4) What are the hidden costs of war? (Sometimes they aren't so 'hidden' - but often they aren't monetary costs).
-The hidden costs of war is maybe to take a other land, or to be powerful in the world, also to make people get fear to themselves.
