8.RP.1.1

By: Taniya Jones & Andrei Sergeyev With over 121 million kids not attending primary school, its more obvious than ever, that this is a problem that needs to be fixed.(Global Issues). The children of the world make up a great percentage of the Earths population, and are our Earths future, which should make you wonder why we’re not doing more to give these children an education. When an uneducated child grows up, they are much more likely to be recruited into criminal gangs and terrorist organizations, which virtually wipe’s out their chances of having a quality career. But if you simply give a child one extra year of high school their eventual wages skyrocket by up to twenty-five percent.(Buckner International). It will also be giving them an opportunity to earn a living, communicate properly, become less likely to be victimized, and are more likely to be successful in life. People often mix up people who don’t want to learn, and people who simply can’t learn. Our goal is to help the children who can’t learn, and this is how we plan to do it. We have created a solution that only requires a small amount of effort out of you and your fellow peers. The Give To Education (GTE) Program is very simple, easy, and will make a big difference in childrens lives all around the world. All you have to do is get your entire class to apply to the GTE Program at givetoEd.com. That’s only the first step. Once you and your class have applied, we will send your class one large bucket. The key to the bucket is for you and your classmates to fill it up with gently used or brand new school supplies. You can put books, pencils, notepads, markers, pens, paper, etc., in the bucket. But, there is a catch. Your class is going to be competing with different classes all over the state in which you live. The class that fills the most buckets from each state by the 31st of December, 2012, will receive a prize. The winners will receive a party for their class, which includes free food, music and games. They will also be partying with a few special guest, in which they have helped in this program. So get your class involved! The time is always right to do something right, because the foundation of every state, is the education of its youth.
