Long Walk to Education in Rural Africa
It is estimated that 29 million primary school-aged
children, more than half of them girls, are out of school in Africa. UN figures
show that between 1999 and 2008 girls’ enrolment in Africa has increased from
54% to 74%, but about 16 million are out of school.
Free primary education was
introduced in Tanzania in 2001. After school, and another hour’s walk home, children
will walk another hour each way to fetch water, and then eat dinner, study, and
sleep.
One teacher at Mwangala Primary School in Mombasa County,
Kenya says, "Maybe 70% of our students come here from more than 3 miles or
about 5 km away, so a lot of children arrive late—and they haven't had any
breakfast and they don't get lunch here. The only get food at night. Can you
imagine trying to teach a child who has not eaten anything all day and has
walked so far?"
With the moderation of roads
and transportation infrastructure, the days when students used to walk miles to
access school maybe dwindling in urban areas thanks to the emergence of
alternative means of transport like school buses and private cars.
However,
even with these developments, there are students who still walk long distances
to school due to high transport fairs. Children in remote communities still
walk long distances to school or sadly do not attend school at all.

Eastern
coasts of Caribbean, United States, and South America, are in danger of being blasted
by hurricanes wind and rain during hurricane season from June through November. But,
why?
The scientific reason why is because of Africa’s
Sahara desert dust storms and the transition of thunderstorms off the west coast
of Africa. The waters in the North Atlantic Ocean are typically at their
warmest while the Sahara is at its hottest from July through October, so the
chances of a hurricane are highest during these months.
Hurricanes
are gigantic weather systems using convection, the movement of hot and cold
air, to create dangerous storms. They are rotating heat engines powered by the
warmth of tropical waters having three main parts, the eye, the eyewall, and
rainbands.
Hurricanes cannot form just anywhere in the world due to the need
for hot and humid air. They normally form close to the equator and move west or
northwest. Hurricane Alley is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic

Survival of the Fattest Meaning
The copper statue Survival of the Fattest by Jens Galschiøt and Lars Calmar was created in 2002. The fat woman is holding a pair of scales as a symbol of justice however; she is
closing her eyes so the justice. Galschiot symbolized the woman as being blind, refusing to see the obvious
injustice.
For the rich people of the world the main issue in life is that of overeating while people in the third world are dying every day from
