Today we were researching and trying to find some examples of  public service announcement (PSA) we could use to make our own and to spread awareness. Some were looking at them and printing them others were making them in paper. Some of us found new information about Congo. And we decided to make some hang posters. We are going to hang some p.s.a's around our school and hope that the students read them and understand what is happening in Congo. 

Congo Food Security to Congo war

Congo Food Security to Congo war

This week we were deciding to slowly change the message we were trying to send. At the beginning our plan was to help the food security in Congo but as develop further into it, we saw it in a different perspective.

The cause of the food security was the war. And the cause of the war was the precious minerals, like colton that are used in our phones. With the war we have slaves, child labor, and raping for women. In fact, Congo is one of the most dangerous place for women to live. There are also child soldiers there, which makes it dagerous for kids to live their too.

At Mr.Schartz's church they are also doing a project on Congo. They have a really cool exhibit, and so here are some pictures.

This week in Holmes Heros, we were trying to find powerful quotes. We want people in the hallway to stop and read them. We want to spread the word about helping food security in Congo. The situation in Congo is getting worse. We need to help them.

Today we are trying to send a message to people in our school about the food security in Congo. We are looking for powerful quotes that people in the hallway will stop to read. Our end of the year goal is spread our message. We want to help with the food security in Congo. Life is hard there after the war. Food is scarce, and people are starving because of that. 

Advertising our mission!

       During Holmes Hero's on Friday the global group made posters to advertise our problem. Some people advertised our problem and some the mission. We put quotes based on thoughts and made cool edits for our posters. Many of the people in the group were really inspired by Andrew (the guy from Congo) that they really wanted to show our school this problem. They made really cool and impressive posters that could really present our problem to people in a fun way. Most people could walk by most posters in a hallway and ignore them. Very few would actually take a second and read it. We wanted to make posters that will bring peoples attention to it. If people would just listen to what we have to say we could make a difference in this situation, all we need it HELP. This is what I want you to think about when you hear about Congo. How would you feel about getting up every morning knowing that you don't have safe food to eat. That you have to go  

                        

These are both examples of the cool edits people made to get peoples help and attention.
