This was my favorite picture from the community walk because I was glad to see that the community gave tribute to the Philadelphia Negro League because a lot of black people do not recieve a lot of credit and for them to have a whole memorial deicated to the Philadelphia Baseball Negro League its a step up from not reconizing black people at all.

I read about the trafficing in the labor section. it was about how the parents would sell there choldren for types of money. It was also about how they would sell them for the least amount of money like for five dollors. I read that there was a mother that sold the 3 childrenm for $180 dollors to a fisherman.
why do they sell there children?
IF THEY ARE CAUDGHT WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
how do the kids live after being sold?

Woman migration
The article was about woman migration
The relating article didn’t have any solutions to solve the other one problems
So our solutions are to let it be both men and woman to make it easier and its more helpful.

Labor
Parents had to sell their children for money because they was poor and they couldn’t afford them
Our solutions is that they can fundraise or donate money
Another solution is that they can get more jobs or maybe having school for the kids

The article's topic was based on xenophobia and discrimination. The article was talking about how a man named Simon attented a christmas party that was organized by the manager from work. The people who also attented were some of his friends. Simon stayed in a small group of people that consisted of students, engineers, IT specialist, lawyers, and laboures. They were all having a good discussion until it became political. A man named Phil introduced his thoughts of manners. He stated that he can't believe those bastards killed our children in Bali. Kick them, send them back to where they belong. They can't fit in with our, the Australian. Simon stated his opinion about what Phil said and Simon asked Phil you are trying to say that we should deport, kick out, detain every single Muslim and person who doesn't fit into of society? You are telling me that al Muslims are terrorist and all of them hate us? Phil said yes. Simon felt as though that was vey ignorant and discrminating because he felt like all Muslims aren't terroist and everyone should be treated equally. He also thought that people discriminating other people was over and thar was over a hundred yeas ago.

Do you think what Phil said was worng?

Do you think other people think that all Muslims are terrorsits?

Are their more people like Phil still out there?

Does discrimination still exist agianst other races?

What can we do to prevent it?

What I thought about today was that I think that we weren’t as prepared as we could have been because I really didn’t comprehend a lot of what they were talking about as far the lady answering the other student’s questions. It wasn’t really a big issue as far as us being prepared because the students from the other school actually take a class that deals with human rights and migration.
Our school went to the UN day to learn other information the migration and the other 5 topics. When we broke up into our small group discussions I was in the group concerning children’s rights. I thought my group was interesting and I learn a lot about children’s rights. There was a girl named Jenifer in my group and she went to Delaware Valley Friends. I not sure what grade she was in but she knew a lot about children’s rights. My Facilitator named was Sara Kitchen and she told us that she started to want to be involved in children’s rights when she was a teenager and she worked as a waitress at a dinner in Massachusetts she overheard two guards that worked at a school a mile away from her home would talk about how they would torture the young men that went to the school. That situation made her want to go into the fields of children’s rights so she studied law and decided after a while to go from law to the classroom and now she is a professor at Chestnut Hill College.
Some of the things I learned The Convention on the Rights of the child is part of education and core curriculums around the world, parents leave their homes to migrate and sometime they take their children with them or they leave them with family members Children migrate to the U.S. so that they can get a better education to receive better jobs some become citizens of the United States others go back to their country, if a child were migrating to come to a Quaker school they could do community service to receive a green card or they can go back to their country, also if they are in a quarter school they would learn the religion if they are a Quaker, and they can easily be abused. This was a good opportunity because I learned a lot about children’s rights and that’s something I wouldn’t mind studying in the future I can’t wait to learn more when everybody come on Dec.1.

The other day I went to the Zoo, since it is cold outside, the water fountains were not on. Everyday it costs about one million dollars to open the zoo everyday. The animals I had a chance to look at were the orangutans, gorillas, the "big cats", and the reptiles. My favorite animal was the turtles. A few times I was lost, but there were many signs to direct you to were to go as well as information on the animal displays about them. There is a building called The Tree House. In the Tree House, it is a place where little kids can play around on life-size caterpiilars and things like that. There are paddle- boats shaped like swans. I learned that all monkeys don't swing from tree to tree and they aren't always active.

What can we do to minimize this violence?
To minimize violecne we could starting having neighborhood recration centers have disscussion or diffeent activites for the s=children so that we can get them off the corners and the streets. So that they are occupied with something else other than drugs and hanging on the corner half the night. We also could have more police out at night on the corners getting the children in the house safe so that the violence doesn't increase.
How can we bring about change?
We can bring about change by getting unlisenced guns off the streets, making sure children under 18 aren't outside half the night, and more security around the neighborhoods and schools areas.
How does it affect our identity?
It affects our identity by how we abuse it. We abuse it by using unlisenced guns to kill each other and young children are out here working on corners and using violence such as guns and fighting. I think if we didn't abuse the issuse that there are unlisenced guns out there that people could get to use that we would be safer because if its a lisenced gun they should use it for self defense not to kill people. We would be more safer if we would stop the violence and increase the peace
