Aid's Day - What

Questions...

What are your reactions?
What did our actions mean to you / other students at ISKL / the world around us?
What were your highlights from yesterday?
What will you remember about the day?
What do you think GI students should do next year on World AIDS Day?
What did you learn after taking part in an action project like this?

In AIDS Day, I brought red beverages for the 'Bake Sales' and wore red shits to represent the symbol of Aids. Also, I've wore a pink paper cloth underneath my red shirt to advertise that

there are certain events going on in lunch time. There were 'Bake Sale', 'Tag Day', 'Soccer Match' and 'Sponge Throw'. By doing this events, we have collected over 500 RM and money was donated to Malaysian Aids Foundation. This action tells me that I have supported one poor African for at least 1 year. I think other students at ISKL have meant same thing like me. Because we have put some efforts in, the world around us would be really thankful.

Out of 4 major events, I loved the Soccer Match best because by playing soccer, we donated money towards MAF. I also participated in soccer match but we lost. Because this is the first time to help, I think I will remember AIDS DAY - 2009. However, I feel like our Global Issues class should put more efforts. So next year in December 1st 2010, other Global Issues students need to organize the events more and donate more money towards MAF. After this major project, I learned that there are lots of people suffering from AIDS and we are really lucky to be born like this.

Before Learning about Global Issues...

What are global issues?

Why should I care?

Explain your choice of quotes & image.

"Everywhere I go, I see very much the same thing. I see the same compassion for people who live half a world away. I see the same concern about events beyond these borders. And, increasingly, I see the same conviction that we can and we must join together to stop the scourge of AIDS and poverty." From Bono Vox, U2 leader.

Issue, issue, issue. In 21st century, there are tons of small and gigantic issues happening around the world. Small issues weren't that important to all of citizen in the world. However, Global Issues were important to all of citizen in the world and still important. Every citizen, government, and celebrities such as Bono Vox from U2 donates money, helps people physically to solve the problem we are having right now. Then what is Global Issue? Why people care about it?

As you know Global Issues influence people critically - mostly Africans because of lack of money. This Global Issues such as "Global-Warming", "AIDS", "Water", "Electricity", "Poverty", "Inequality" and etc is mostly related with cultural problem and lack of money. For example, Aids - it effect most of African's life because they don't know how to prevent it or they don't have enough money to spend money on two small pills that can almost (not 100%) cure aids. That's why AIDS is one of the serious Global Issues that is influencing people's life. Now, you get a little idea, what is global issue and what does it influence us.

As I talked about how serious it is last paragraph, we should all participate and stand up for something - something like helping poors. If we don't, think what's going to happen. There are few possibilities that can occur. First, they might riot and fight against us. Secondly, the population would decrease really fast and the one of African's race would be gone. Thirdly and mostly importantly, if we don't stand up for their rights, innocent people will die, even child will die. Because of you, innocent people will starve, die painfully. Why don't you stand up?

The picture and the quote on the front, that really tells you about Global Issue. Let's talk about picture first. The picture - the Earth covered with fire, shows what's going to happen if we don't work out with Global issues. That's why I chose this picture. It has a strong impression and stronger meaning than picture with saying "Help for Global Issue". I chose the quote by Bono (My favorite singer and band U2) because he is my favorite singer. Joking. Bono Vox have donated tons of moneys to African - even had a concert named "Aids Concert" in U.K. Coming back to topic, I chose this quote because this quote tells me that he saw every country, and found out that global issue isn't only happening for African, but other country. Also, this encourage us to stand up for poverty and aids - our most serious global issues right now. So almost everyone is helping, your friends are supporting, how about you helping, supporting, standing up for Global Issues?

Peace, Peace and Peace

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." by Albert Einstein. Right now, one of the most serious global issue is peace. Without peace, we would not exist, everyone wouldn't exist. Then why - why are we having war? War is the most disgusting, dirty situation going around the world right now. "In war, there are no unwounded soldiers" by José Narosky. Everyone will be sad, miserable, wounded and dying if the war keep continues. We must stand up. Protest for peace, stand against the war. If everyone of you stand of for peace, I am pretty sure that war will be gone forever. Find out more about peace - but not just peace, but other global problems such as "Poverty, AIDS".

If you collaborate and stand up, it will make a big, effective peace to the world.
