The day twenty-two November, the fifth class of Primary School "Michele Preziuso" went in the municipal gardens to plant seedlings of ash, pomegranate and cherry laurel. The City of Rionero organized "the feast of 'tree' in collaboration with the region. Together with the fifth class there were other classes: one high school and two in the first grade. Before of the planting the first grade children recite a nursery rhyme dedicated to alberi. A student in high school read a text about the nature and the fifth class has "published" a booklet with poems, and acrostics mesostici on the trees. To learn more about the trees an expert has provided a lot of information. Subsequently, two children have planted seedlings with the help of the head of the mountain community.
A development group, Heifer International, has built an educational global village near the U.S. southern city of Little Rock, Arkansas representing housing in various poor areas of the world. American school and business groups come to the village to learn what it is like to live in developing countries and spent a night in the global village to experience some of the hardships. Those are some testimonials written by those who took part in this initiative. Rebecca: I was also apart of the experience shown here (in Zambia) and it opened my eyes to the world around me, to get a small taste of the deplorable conditions of some residing the poorer countries. It is something everyone should take away and learn how to help others. I was lucky to attend RMSEL and have a chance to take part in the Heifer project. Emma I was also there, I was in the Appalacian cabin. It showed me how you need to cooperate with other people, even if you're in a really terrible mood because you're cold and hungry. My 'family' could not start our fire, no matter what we did, so we eventually ended up giving some firewood to the refugees when they lit it for us. I also figured out just how much I take for granted, like electricity. Our class goes on camping trips twice a year, but then we have the light of the stars and moon to show us what we were doing. In our cabin, we had no light at all, and eventually ended up using the adult's cell phone as a makeshift flashlight to cook our dinner with. Alicia Ferrufino-Coqueugniot No amount of film could have shown the immense imprint this experience has made upon me. Privilege is some times blinding. We have our iPods, TVs, cell phones when many don't have the basics such as water. When you are surrounded by comforts you sometimes distort reality, the reality of our world. After Heifer I hope everyone else took back what I did. Just appreciating what you have isn't enough. Us being the future we have to take the power that we still have to make the difference we think is right. We must continue to be passionate about our world and finally be the change we wish to see in the world, as Gandhi said. Thank you Heifer. Our opinion We think that this is a very important initiative that should be repeated in our countries. It 's a way to realize, through direct experience, for us who live in the affluent society of what it means to actually lead a life on the edge of survival and how many things we use unnecessary or wasteful. If we all learn to save some more, we could use the rest to help those who really need.
Remember those moments was terrible for the people of the countries affected by terremoto on 1980. On 19:34 there was the first jolt, which lasted ninety seconds, and made very serious disaster. The dead were about two thousand. All these people would have not died if the houses were built stronger and durable. Now we tell the memories of people that in 1980 have chilling experiences, fortunately we born after many years and now we are ready to express our views and try not to commit the same mistakes to build more houses, roads and schools strong. Students of class V E.
In 1980 there was a disastrous earthquake in Campania and Basilicata. It was November 23 at 19:45. It was a very quiet evening, many people walked calmly through the streets when suddenly the earth started shaking, cars slamming against one another, as the houses began to collapse. The earthquake killed in Rionero only two seniors. It lasted a minute and a half. Instead Balvano, 65 children died in the church crushed by the collapse of the roof. In this earthquake there were many dead people under the rubble, who crushed. People died because of poorly constructed homes. In fact, in Japan and Los Angeles, even if there are earthquakes devastating, few people die. I hope that in future build better homes and schools with the strongest materials that help us survive these tragic events.
The day November 25, 2010 we students of class V E went to visit the newspaper "The Daily" for a closer look at how journalists work. We wander through the drafting rooms and put many questions to reporters. So we spent a few hours to journalism school and we spoken about the 1980 earthquake
