The Water Project (The Rain man Of Rajasthan)

Hi Everyone,
I watched this very emotional video made by (The Water Project) that was about how people in Africa have no water to drink, they have to walk miles back and forth trying to collect water from dirty ponds, rivers, that is contaminated with all sorts of different diseases that then spreads to the people that drink the water. 

The Water Project invests in local solutions to the local water crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. Providing access to clean, safe water helps capable and determined people realize the hope they have for their own futures.

For many of the people suffering today the water they so desperately need is right below them. It might be just a few feet away, blocked underground. Wells can be constructed by bringing water to hundreds, rainwater can be captured and stored by buckets.  Access to all clean water helps a community like the Africans to climb that first step out of poverty. Clean water enables cleaner personal hygiene and proper sanitation. Water and hygiene also help to improve health, and bad diseases are reduced by a heap.  The more people that are healthy and are hygienic are ready to go back into the school they will concentrate harder, think more generously and freed to study in the evenings and later. 

This task was very interesting to listen to and read. I'm really starting to enjoy completing the Summer Learning Journey, and so far I have been really interested and had a lot of fun. I learned a lot about the water and how it is affecting not only Africa but also in a heap of other countries. The video I watched was really inspirational and make me realize how effective it really is and what it is causing. I really enjoyed this task today. Have you ever gone to a different country before to help save a loved one?

Equal Pay For Equal Work

Fiao’o Fa’amausili was the captain of the New Zealand (NZ) Black Ferns, our national women’s rugby team, until 2018. The Black Ferns have been a very successful team, winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup a record five times. Wow!

Despite this success, the Black Ferns have only recently become ‘professional’ rugby players who are paid to play rugby. Although they are paid, the Black Ferns make less money than members of the men’s professional rugby team - the All Blacks. This difference in pay is often called the ‘gender pay gap’ and it is not uncommon in sports.

The Black Ferns have won five out of eight Women's Rugby World Cups since the tournament began in 1991 - what more does a team have to do to be taken seriously? The All Blacks, on the other hand, have won three of their equivalent in 30 years.

In my opinion, I don't think that it is very fair that the "All Blacks" get paid more just because of the gender difference. I think that all of the people in the "Black Ferns" and "All Blacks" should be given the same amount because they both play the same sport,  and are professionals at it. 

Create Your Own Similies

1. The brand new Ferrari is as fast as a lightning bolt.
2. Sandra Elaine Allen is as tall as a giraffe.
3. The flower is as beautiful as ever looked from white clouds in a dream.
4. The snail was as small as the dust before the wind.

Hi Everyone,
This task you had to do was to create four different similies. The task gave you a short description of a girl named Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce who is stated as the fastest female sprinter in the world for the 100-meter sprint. I hope that you like the similies that I have created. Have you done this task yet, and if you did, did you enjoy it?

Today I also completed this task where we had to write our very own Pepeha's. I asked my mum and we talked about my mountain, river, my tribe, etc. I really loved this task because of knowledge I now know about myself in Moari and I can also say it off by heart. Have you ever written your own pepeha before?

Lord: Profile Page

Hi Everyone, 

Today for my Week 9 teaser tasks I decided to make a profile page about Lorde. The task that you had to complete was to try and research as much as you possibly could and find out five facts about her. I found this task really enjoyable and it definitely taught me a lot about her that I didn't already know. I hope by you reading my profile page about Lorde definitely taught you something about her.
