Mozambique Travel Journal – Thursday 27th Jan 2005 (Part 7)

It was a very positive experience for me, because these students are happy to be in school and are making the most of the opportunity. I would love to set up a pen pal program between students in Australia and students at the Maputo High School. It would be a way for Australian students to support World Vision and become involved even if they can’t afford to sponsor a child or make any other kind of monetary contribution; it would help the Mozambican students with their English skills, and it would teach Australian students a lot about what an opportunity school can really be. I think that the passion that the Mozambican students have for their school and their future career ambitions might even rub off on Australian students. It would also of course give both sides a chance to learn about a different country and culture.

Poverty. Famine. War. It's all around us, in the news, the papers and on every second documentary you see. But what is the real truth? Are things really as bad as we're told - or are they worse? And what really can be done? Some people think believe the only way to help is to donate money to large relief comporations, and let them decide where it is best spent. Others prefer a more personal approach - choosing which projects and causes to support. But are we really in a position to make such decisions? How do we determine who is needy and who isn't? Read about these issues and more from someone who is just as confused as the rest of us, but who is determined to find out.
