Today we used our Current Event Friday to research what is going on in the Congo today - you guys did some research and then chatted about what you have learned. What was revealed is the horribly sad reality of the Congo today, one that is a result of corruption, greed and violence...one that stems from consumer goods that North Americans want.
Our Project Week Project will revolve around the Congo and attempting to do SOMETHING to help...
These were the websites that your classmates brought up in their chats. I'll post a few more later on today. Spend some time this weekend looking into the Congo and what is occurring there.
