The Oil Gulf Diasaster

Group members:Sophia LaBriola!(:
Period:1
    On June 15,2010 a horrifying disaster occurred on the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. An oil mine exploded in the ocean! With oil everywhere and contaminated water surrounding;the poor ocean life was in a bad situation. Sadly most of the ocean life life such as birds, fishes(any breed), turtles and ect. There is really nothing we can do to help, besides trying to save some of these precious animals from the dangerous conditions that they are in. One idea we can do is get a large net and help get some of the oil out of the water. What citizens are doing to try and help is caring for the birds and taking them to local animal resources, such as The Audubon Society. They are caring and cleaning the birds.(: Now almost a year later, people are still trying to help clean up this major disaster! We pray that the oil will clean up before this year is over!(:

Operation Christmas Child

        Kids all around the world don't have the things in there life that they need to survive.
Operation Christmas Child is an organization that packs shoe boxes; they get filled with things that kids normally take for granted.
These packages may not seem like a lot but to those kids who don't have a lot, they really make a difference.
 Kids in orphanages get little tiny toys to occupy them until they get legally adopted.
 It shows that just one little package can change a child's life a lot!
That's why this organization is definitely a great cause for people to give to.
There are many opportunities to help this organization, for more details visit www.samaritanspurse.org
They also take donations of things such as, toiletries, stuff animals, socks, clothes, coloring books, ext. :)
This organization has turned around many kids lives, so why not be a part of the change ?

 Children in Nigeria are being abused and abandoned by their parents for being accused of witchcraft. Many of the children's siblings are dying. Parents are thinking that the children who seem to be healthy are killing their brothers and sisters. There have been an enormous rise in orphans. Kids are being abandoned and are living on the streets for days at a time, until people find them and are caring enough to help them or take them in. Parents are scared of their kids killing them. Teachers, doctors and scientist are telling parents that there is no such thing as witchcraft so they will consider taking their kids back. 
  

"Emo" The Tiger


By: Breanna M
    There has been a current increase in the production of white tigers in a few tiger facilities around the world. These facilities are for the improper breeding of white Bengal tigers. This breeding is a very current thing and is happening today. It is happening because only 1 out of 10,000 tigers are naturally born white, so breeders are trying to up the odds and make more white tigers with unnatural births. Breeders are also trying to keep the gene of "white" in the tiger family. To be bred over and over again against an animals will is unnatural and can hurt the animal. So to help with the situation, two adults by the names of Bud De Young and Carrie Cramer are one of the organizations who are helping by owning a private zoo in the middle of nowhere to help save these animals. Bud and Carrie are trying close down breeding facilitys and open up rehabb centers for animals with birth defects from this or have been bred in one of these "warehouses". They are also helping by getting male and female tigers fixed. One special animal getting fixed is a white Bengal tiger by the name of "Emo"(above right). Emo was born in a breeding facility with his brother(above left), just like his parents. Carrie found out about the new birth and transported the animal to her zoo after a long court case debate over which place is best suited for Emo. Emo is now 2 and 1/2 years old and is now getting fixed; just in case he gets loose. It is obvious that unusual/unnatural breeding for white Bengal tigers is a current issue and that we need to fix it.

The Cyclone in Queensland

In Queensland, Australia, A Cyclone is approaching and fast. Locals are boarding up their windows and reinforcing their buildings. But for some they have no choice but to leave. All the schools in the area are closed and all of the residents are either hidden in their houses or had abandoned them until the cyclone is gone. Many of family's have already stocked up in food and supplies and are already ready for the cyclone and they cant wait for it to be gone.

Abuse In Nigeria

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIAL/2007/impact
In Nigeria children are being abused because parents believe that they are witches and are killing people so they beat and hurt them. The orphan center has decided to take them and help them forgive their parents and hope they aint forgotten. Everyday these children are being abused and people are trying to help stop it but parents dont believe their children can be helped The Only Reason this happens is because when another child gets sick or hurt they think its the children hurting them because of the
witches and the parents want them gone from there lives fearing for their own lives.

 This was the biggest oil spill in history by at least 15 times another. These disasters effect the ecosystem so bad that some millions of fish and some whales get washed up on shores and the damage takes years to re cooperate.Have you ever had a oil  stain on your shirt....well its the same concept it takes a long time to come off and some times we throw them away,same with the earth its gonna take years to clean up and  it is a major damage on the environment so we like threw the clean water and millions of fish away. This is a terrible thing to do and did you know it took over three months to cap and it  is killing fish by the millions? cause it is and its horrible!             :(

Oil Disaster

By,ChristianLiester
    The oil spill happened in the gulf of Mexico.  Many people were involved such as in Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida coastal areas are in danger of there area getting flooded with oil.  This happened because the platform broke and 4.2 million gallons of oil went into the gulf of Mexico in 2010.  Animals were getting covered in oil such as birds, turtles, and fish.  There where a couple organizations helping fix the problem.  The organizations were the Abundan Society, Alabama Coastal Foundation, Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, and United Way.  The solution to the oil spill was Plugging the oil source.  The oil spill was tragic for some animals and scary for many people.

Oil Spill :

   On the day of April 20th , 2010 , officials have reported a serious accident that is affecting ALL the animals in the Gulf of Mexico . They had discovered an underway pipe that carries thousands of gallons of oil had exploded in to the Gulf of Mexico . Everybody had been really concerned . Animals had exited the water smeared with oil all over their bodies , some came out but had no home to go back to . This oil infected lot's of homes , oil had traveled everywhere in the water and even killed many sea creatures . People began to soon realize this was a big problem when they weren't able to travel to the beach with their families because oil had washed up on the shore , and corpses of sea creatures were everywhere . "Community lovers" soon started recruiting others to help with the " BIG CLEAN UP ". Yet to know people where all over the beaches not only washing away the oil but picking up trash . The word had gotten out , and soon it was all across the nation about this cleanup , radio stations , shows , and many others started releasing information about these brilliant people . They also had created a sort of club thing that persuades kids to help keep the community around them clean for our pollution . It's a big help in getting kids ready for what life would be like when older , and how it could affect the world and their natural community . Now that this problem is over , people are now starting to take care of our world , and share ideas on making it a batter place . :) ( Above is a picture of a living creature soaked in oil , and how it is affecting not only affecting it physically but mentally . )

                                                                                                                                    - AV :)

Afghan Child Labor!

Afghan children from five to there teens are held as slaves in a dangerous  job such as sneaking flour over the border to Pakistan. children see deaths everyday and and when they sneak flour over its not for there benefit besides getting 20cents and still living in a cave!

Oil Spill

I am here to tell about the oil spill that happened in the gulf coast, and what is happening to solve it.
How this happened was VP had a pipe that cracked and we needed to find a way to seal it and clean it up. After trying to figure out what we should do we finally agreed on wielding the crack. After that we had to figure out to clean the ocean and beaches. People have tried to vacuum it but it did not work. So they tried a special type of net. People involved include SOS TAS AFC MBNEP. For that most part we fixed it.

Abused curcus animals

Molly M    Imagine going to the circus see those animals there so funny. Look at them do those stupid tricks. Yes those circus animals may be funny but behind stage there being hurt beaten stuffed in to small cages separated from there kids and mates and more. For a long time circus animals have lived in poverty being hurt without us noticing. They might have tried to alert us but we looked past and laughed. Many animals have been this way but mostly elephants. Finally in 1984 and 1995 two organizations were founded two organizations that would save the life  of thousands of animals. These two organizations are The Elephant Sanctuary and Performing Animals Welfare Society. These organizations have been working very hard to rescue abused circus animals. They take the animals in and then feed them and house them for the rest of there life. They hope to continue to save animals for a long time. But now they need our help so donate now and save a elephants life.

flood in australia

What happen is that Australia got flooded because I think of global warming. The flood is in Queensland in Australia and the flood effected 60 thousand people.
One of the problems that they can have is parasites in the water. One of the organization that is helping the people is MNT they can take the people to other
houses in Australia ones that where not effected by the water. The flood occurred in January 19,2010.

Oil Spill Threat

 If you have heard about he oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which surely everyone has, it's a very bad thing and is infecting lots of fish and even the water we drink. Everyone is trying everything they can to help dis-infect the fish and the water. Lots of organizations are also in affect with this disaster, for example Autobon Society, Alabama Coastal Foundation, etc. This threat has been stopped but no one knows if it's going to happen again. This disaster occured on April 20, 2010, they couldn't do anything then because we don't have the technology it take to go under water that deep and do that. We also couldn't do that because it got to bad. In the water there was also a natural born disease called colera that could kill anyone within 24 hours.

Egypt, Cairo

Victoria Aldaco                               

On January 25th, 2011 a crisis occurred in Egypt, Cairo. The internet was shut down, and the people of Egypt were in disgust with President Hosni Mubarak. Instead of discussing their opinion, they decided to resolve their anger, in violence. Blood filled the faces of the young and the elderly, lives were ended, and the situation still continues. On Wednesday, Hosni Mubarak showed his strength by, beating protesters with rocks, clubs, knives, and firebombs. Thursday, in the early morning military had shot 2 gunfire, in a result, two people were killed, and 45 were injured. More than 150 people have died in the week, and an estimate of 600 have been wounded. When will this madness end?

Pakistan flood

There are many people in the Pakistan area that are suffering from the flood that is going on. The are over 2 million families that are in need of assistance. The children are getting skin diseases from the lack of soap  and clean water. The flood started seven weeks ago and is still going on. What has to be done is to get food, clean water and soap to the families stranded in the water. The World Food Programme and the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon are researching ways to get the supplies necessary to these people. Their homes have washed away and the families are in need of shelter. One thing I think I can do is give awareness of the situation and find people who are able to donate money or fund to help these people.

Terrorism has been going on for quite some time now.  One of the places it has been taking pace in is Afghanistan.  Terrorists are known to use many different tools and weapons to terrorize.  The name of some Afghanistan terrorists are Al  There are many terrorists involved in this crime.  Many people are dying because of terrorism.  It could be happening right now.  The reason this is happening is because some people just have a very high lack of common sense and they are selfish.
On January, 26 2010 a gruesome earthquake(7.o) took down a majority of Haiti's schools. Bryn Mooser and many others have joined an alliance, and will hopeful rebuild most these schools. People aren't only donating their time but their money too. The Red Cross, The world Bank, and many other organization all over the world have donated millions of dollars. These kids deserve an education, and because of Bryn Mooser and his team of helpful people, they are able to educate these them.

Rebuilsing Schools

                   On January 26 a huge earthquake (7.0) struck many of Haiti's schools and tor them to pieces. There was hardly any education left many people out of careers. Many people and organizations like Red Cross, Chinese Red Cross, The World Bank, Canada, and many others have donated more than 300 million dollars to Haiti to help repopulate their schools. Also Hollywood's Bryn Mooser is in Haiti helping by donating and doing construction. You would think with all this money they would by now have some of the best schools in their country but not just money can fix this problem hope and spirit can also make a good affect on this proses of rebuilding.

Traumatized Gorillas Are Being Saved



Orphaned gorillas in an area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo suffered from horrible traumatic conditions and experiences. Many of them have been taken away from the forest by poachers.  GRACE (Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education) is an organization that is helping to teach the gorillas how to survive in the wild by themselves as a "family." After teaching the gorillas how to survive, GRACE will release them into a forest near the Congo Basin. When rescued, many of the gorillas had bad wounds and some of them only survived for a couple of days. Hopefully, GRACE will succeed in teaching the traumatized gorillas.

Cyclone HIts QLD

The month of love turns to disaster for QLD (Queensland) on the 1st week of February queensland was hit with a terrible cyclone. while her in Denver we were missing school because of a snow storm queensland was missing school because of a major cyclone.On Feb. 2 at 03:35 UTC/1:35 p.m. Australia local time, the moderate Resolution  (MODIS) instrument on NASA's aqua detector captured a visible image of Cyclone Yasi before it made landfall in Queensland, Australia. The eye of the Cyclone was very clear and indicative of the power of this tropical cyclone. Damaged buildings, downed trees and power outages have been reported. The Cyclone warning is still in effect today.Rainfall exceeded 60 mm (2.36 inches) in one hour and pressure had fallen to near 938 millibars. Australia's deadliest cyclone occurred March 4th 1899 when a cyclone hit bathhurst bay (north of cooktown) and caused a major storm which took the life of about 307 Australians.-Alexis R.

Nuclear waves Throughout Ukrain

Radioactive forest 5 years after explosion


   Ukraine one of the many nuclear powered countries; But what happens when there is an issue in one of these deadly facilities ? Well that's just the case in the power plants of Ukraine. On April 25Th to 26Th, 1986 during its test run the plant Although many human errors lead to the accident, the IA EA (International Agency of Atomic Energy) concluded that the main reason of the explosion and a massive release of the radioactive materials was faulty construction of this reactor. Although this incident happened 20 years ago the nuclear waves remain in the atmosphere the wilderness is just now returning to its natural color,and wild horses are returning to there once radioactive homes.
Power plant Workers Days before explosion
in a situation like this you would imagine that  a boatload is being done but there aren't a lot of ways to clear nuclear radiation they  are kinda just waiting it out which isn't to good for families that own the 5 major tourist attractions in the radioactive area. this is costing the government time and money so there hasn't been much action near this plant the repairs in the plant are nearly through but the recovery of the wilderness is no where near back to normal and it probably wont be for another 50-75 YEARS.

Elephants In The Circus (:

ELEPHANTS IN THE CIRCUS

    As everybody knows animals are an entertainment in the circus, but its starting to get out of hand. People are starting to think animals in the circus are abused and not treated right. There are country's that have taken animals out of their circuses, such as: Standford, Connecticut; Hollywood, Florida; Boulder, Colorado; Pasadena, California. This is a current event that is taking place of stopping. It is happening because a-lot of people think that animals should be taken out of the circus. There are a-lot of magazine's that are discussing this issue such as National Geographic. The New Pickle Circus is one of the circuses that do not have animals in their circus. They have plenty of other occupying acts for the circus to do. I think this matter is interesting because its not an everyday thing, and I like Elephants. (:

Gulf Oil Spil

Arson B.

      Hi, I wanted to know if you new about the problem in Egypt. If you did , what do you think about it how and would you fix it?    Did you hear about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? The Audubon Society is involved and is trying to clean it up. This happened  about a year ago.The Audubon Society is also helping by cleaning the animals. They are located out of Arizona.  About the oil spill I think that some people are over reacting to this.  they say it will take 10 to 12 years to clean it up. but I think we will be able to do it in about 5 to 6 years if we don't slack off and say and think it will go away.

            Floods In Pakistan
By: Celina Valdez
     In Pakistan floods are going on, they are a natural disaster. We could help them by building new homes and giving them food, clothes, etc. Some organizations, like United Nations are already helping, but it would be nice to have more help. Money is given to them, but I'm sure it's going to take more then money to fix this problem. 20 million people are in need of assistance. These floods are causing huge problems; sickness, skin diseases, hunger, misery, diarrhea, no shelter, and many more problems. This is becoming a huge problem and we need to do something to help!

Tremendous Flood in Pakistan!

By: Heidy O.


Aid falling short in flood-devasted pakistan. A problem is that the people left in pakistan need food, there is not enough help in this issue.

20 million people in Pakistan are in need of assistance. The main problem in Pakistan is that there is a flood that could go over homes and many people cant get enough, surviving the waters. This is current, it might of started  Monday September 6th - and it is still going on. It happened because of nature and the increase of rain fall. We can help Pakistan by giving them the needed supply  for them to stay  alive. The world  food program is an organization that has been helping Pakistan feeding 6 million people every month. It has been giving clean water and sanitation equipment to reach even more people that doctors are giving health authorities this is what is being done to help. info link

Smiling for the 1st Time

Sadie S.

    A group of surgeons have a boat in Bangladesh that floats around the country fixing children and adults’ cleft palates. Because of the cleft palates, the children don't have a future. They say that they'll never marry and will never go to school. Surgeons are trying to fix the cleft palates to give the children a better future and the adults a new start. The surgeons float around on the boat doing this for about a week. 


This little girl will be able to go to school, get married, and have a job because she got her cleft palate fixed.
    Robby, 1 year old, got his fixed thanks to the surgeons on the boat and his father for caring enough for him to go get it repaired. He was very happy to see Robby's lips mended. Everyone on board are very thankful. =D

the gulf of oil

Rio d


    The gulf oil spill was a national tragedy. A oil platform broke and oil spilled in to the gulf of Mexico.
The citizens volunteered to try to clean up the oil. They took boats around and cleaned it up the oil.
B P oil company is blamed for it because they owned the platform. A lot of animals were affected in the oil.Birds couldn't fly and fish died.
I think the oil spill could have been prevented if the oil platform was better built and if the crew is better prepared.

Oil Spill

by Regan Devine
   Help,Help! This bird is suffocating in oil. Imagine if you were drowning in a puddle of oil in the ocean. Now you know how thousands of animals feel when they are dyeing in oil that we spilled. There was a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP is responsible for this spill. On April 20, 2010 the Deepwater Horizon's well broke and has been gushing oil in to the Gulf for three months.  An estimated 210,000 gallons of oil has been spilled into the ocean. That equals 5,000 barrels a day into the ocean. The Gulf and east coast have had a drought of animals and business is bad. There is being a lot done to clean up all the oil. There is a lot of people volunteering to help clean animals. BP has spent millions on the clean up. That is my blog on the oil spill. I encourage you to help clean up.

Earthquake in Haiti

           Earthquake in Haiti

    People have been hurt for over a year. The U.S is trying to help them as much as they can. Thousands of people have been killed; millions have died. The problem in Haiti is that all of the buildings and schools. The kids and families have no shelter they're not being able to learn. Senators from the U.S have been taking workers, volunteers have been taken there to help the families. This happen because it's part of nature. So this is important because this is a major problem for Haiti.

U.S Aids Refuse To Give Up

Children Are Hungry In Haiti!
    In 2010, after the earthquake in Haiti, U.S aids tried to help people and give food. Now, again in 2011, U.S aids are soming back and their first stop is the orphanage. They are completely out of food and recources. So, U.S is bringing food and feeding these hungry children. The man in the picture who is feeding the kids is Eric Klien. Thanks to the U.S, we gave donations along with their meals. U.S Aids refuse to give up! These people also need medical help too though! So,In addition to volunteers, the group needs financial support to continue to provide medical supplies. It has sent 10 planeloads full of these supplies, but the supplies are barely keeping pace with the need. Some Links are, CNN--Can Do, U.S Fund For UNICEF, And Doctors Without Borders. (:
