We would throw the actor out because we think he is not useful and the second we would throw is the Politician because they are all talk and no action.

I am going to give you some advice about how to prepare for a trip to the desert.

First plan to go with somebody who has experience. Next decide which place you want to camp. After that tell somebody where you are going to visit it because if you need help they will know where you are. Then pack a tent and a compass. Don’t to bring some water and food. Make sure you have a matches and a flash light. Never forget a shovel. Remember to let out the air from the tires when you are in the desert. Always take a flare gun.

Do you know why Frankie has some string around her wrist?

2008-04-02T21:08:00.000-07:00

Sri Lanka is a very beautiful island. Frankie has been there four times. The first time she had a fantastic holiday with her children.

The second time was six months after the tsunami. She went to build houses because people were still living in tents. She helped to build temporary houses. She liked hammering nails.

She came back to Abu Dhabi and wanted to raise money to build more houses. She jumped out of an airplane with HCT teachers and students. On her third trip she took enough money to build twenty- seven houses.

Last summer she went to help build permanent houses. The people were very happy to finally get a good house. They had a special ceremony. The holy man put the string on Frankie’s wrist. He said that it would bring luck to the new home.

Cambodia

2008-02-26T21:26:00.000-08:00

Today we read about an Immigrant family who had lived in America for a long time and were going back to live in Cambodia. Before reading we did an Internet Search to find out about Cambodia. It is a country in the South East of Asia, next to Vietnam. 1975 was a very bad time for the Cambodians.

There was a civil war and then Pol Pot decided that he wanted everyone to be the same and work on the farms. He forced everyone to leave the cities. Everyone had to walk out including the old and the sick.

Civilian deaths in this period, from execution disease, exhaustion and starvation, have been estimated at well over two million. This was more than a quarter of all Cambodians.

If you go to Cambodia now you can go to a museum and see thousands of skulls.
