Famine in Somalia

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Hello. I’m here to talk about Somalia’s famine.

Famine almost common because crops don’t properly grow which would happen during summer because there is not enough rain to feed the crops. What exactly happened in Somalia is drought continued for this whole year it may have rained only once or twice so they don’t have enough water to feed the crops. The crops die and that’s why 3 quarters of Somalia doesn’t get enough food. (That’s 2.85 million people that face starvation. Further 1.75million will join the starvation) Around 10 thousand people already died from starvation.

The other reason of famine is Somalia has been in civil war and even if they hadn’t been in war the country was really poor to buy food. People say the war is caused by religions. Somali people are Muslims just like me. (but that really isn’t the point). Well the other religions are obviously non-Muslims. (I’m not saying any ones bad but the war is serious) The war has killed around 200 thousand people.

Somalia is depending on their live stock and animals. Most of the animals can’t produce milk. Camels are dying and if they die what chance do the other animals like cattle’s have to live? Also 80% of the livestock are also done.

I heard the kids are eating leaves so that might affect the oxygen. To help the country I am fund raising for them. So far I only got 4$.D: .But will get more! :D . The way I’m fund raising is I’m selling chocolate bars and you can donate as much as you want. The reason I only have 4$ for the donation is because I only soled one xD. I hope you do something to help too.

Bye for now!

My trip to Dallas !!

Sunday, April 24, 2011


This March break I had an awesome time at Dallas! We went to Dallas 2 days before March break started. We stayed at our cousin’s house; (on my mother’s side) to get to Dallas we took an airplane from Buffalo.

One unforgettable thing that we did at Dallas was when we went to Houston and Galveston. Galveston was beside the Gulf of Mexico, and it has a beach. We couldn’t swim there because it’s dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, (unlimited dirties,) dirty. The good part was there were many shells and I found tons! When it was night we slept in a motel.

The next day we went to Houston and we went to NASA The Space Centre, It was so fun, it’s just like our Ontario’s science centre but it’s about space! It showed how astronauts live in space and how they controlled the rocket ship/ airplanes. Another place that we went was White Rock. It’s beside a lake and there are many birds such as swans. I also got to feed one!
We also went to South Fork Ranch; there it was the setting of the popular TV drama serial Dallas.

The other place we went was Forth Worth. It looks just like where the cowboys use to live. Two highlights from that place were when I rode a horse and when I went to the maze. In the maze the objective is to find the letters M.A.Z.E and in every letter there is an hole puncher that is shaped with the letter and when you’re done you got to get to the finish line! I also got a prize from them.

The last place we went to was Dallas downtown. There was the memorial of John Kennedy F. It was sad. That’s my awesome trip to Dallas!
