Help us help get kids into school
We are raising awareness, and we want other people to take part so that all children can get a good education and job. Did you know that 80 million kids are not in school because they have to work in dangerous jobs just to get enough money to get food and water?
We should be able to get those kids in school by 2015, but this can only be achieved if action is taken now.
Our fourth-grade class asked our school community members to add to our paper chain, representing our support for education, that we will send to Angela Merkel, the leader of the G8. We are also inviting people to our Global Kids Unite concert to raise awareness about all the children in the world who need all the help they can get.
The aid needed to send all children to school each year would be $10 billion. Guess how much money is spent on education in Ethiopia? Only $2.50 per child per year. That's why we are putting a lot of effort in to raising awareness for them.
Go to www.joinup.org to find out how to take action.
