When the troubles of my life
Seem so difficult
And take up all the spaces in my mind
And all I can feel is my sadness
But the there are others
Who are faced with more than me
Their life filled with unjust behavior
And other lives put before theirs
And they are still hopeful
That one day things will change
And life will be simple
Where all they have are basic necessities
And they will be happy
Living a simple life
Were there is nothing to worry about,
But only just enough to live
And they will always be hopeful
They will never be afraid of whats to come
But they will still let their minds wander
To the far ends of the world.

My declaration for children
Preamble:
Children all over the world are being violated. Most children are still learning right from wrong and they wont know if what is happening to them is wrong. They can not defend themselves and therefor they need protection from their government, or from the rest of the world. They are defenseless and can not voice their opinions too well so we need to do it for them!

Aid In India Resource Review
Which website did we use? www.humanrightswatch.org
In my group we only used humanrightswatch.org.
We liked this website because they have reliable information and an abundance of it. I found the information useful although i sometimes found that the information was repetitive. For what I needed, the information was easy to find, and easy to understand. It tells you the basics of what you need to know, and more detail if you need it.
How did my group worked together?
My group cooperated well together. Though I had a lot of work to do for being absent, I had a group that could pick up my extra slack. I worked hard, but I feel that Ari worked the hardest, he did all his work and more, and was able to edit it. Brittne also did a very good job and did all the work she was assigned. Caroline, was able to use her detailed notes, and in the end we were able to come together and we all created a flowing podcast.
