Virus that can kill many people

Advancement in science has helped

Needs a cure

Dying, too much dying

Aquired immune deficency syndrome

Death threatning

Smart choices can help prevent HIV and AIDS

Lauren Cummings

Africa is dying from AIDS. 

Immediate cure for AIDS is required. 

Death can come from a simple cold when you have AIDS. 

Some children’s parents have AIDS and have died. 

Africa is getting AIDS from HIV. 

No cure for AIDS or HIV has been found. 

Death can come from the flu or any sickness when you have AIDS. 

HIV does not kill. 

If you have HIV or AIDS you should talk to your doctor. 

Viruses can also kill a person.          

 by Jeremy Gilbert

Attacking many people. 

Inhabitants of Liberia are suffering. 

Death waits for inoccent people. 

Sadness is around them. 

All they want is a cure. 

No one understands what it’s like. 

Dying is becoming too common. 

Help is needed. 

Ignorance doesn’t help. 

Very much can be done.

For the past 4 or 5 weeks before spring vacation we had been working on this powerpoint for you and grades 3 through 7. The program is designed to give you an education of what is going on in Liberia and the rest of Africa.

HIV attacks the t-cells

It makes your body unable to fight diseases that it can normally can

Virus found in body fluids

A weak virus because it dies when your body fluids die

Never die from HIV directly but from other diseases

Disease can stay alive for years

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome

Immune system fights off diseases like a cold or the flu

Death can come from a cold or the flu without the immune system

 Sharing needles, blood, and razors are some ways AIDS and HIV
     Are transmitted
 
                                       An acrostic poem by Sam Snyder

     Back in September our sixth grade class had been studying Liberia.  When we found out about Liberia’s child labor issue we were devastated.  I was chosen along with Sam Snyder, Amber Ludwig and Sarah Harp to create a power point presentation on the issue. This presentation had to be easy to comprehend and entertaining for young children.  We wanted them to get involved. The presentation below was presented to kindergarten through third grade students by the four of us.  It took about a week to make and was presented on three different days to one class at a time.   We hope you enjoy it. Please click on the powerpoint to advance to the next slide.        child-labor.ppt

     This is the powerpiont I made to present to the students in grades 3 through 7. This powerpiont is about what we are doing as a class to help the poeple of Liberia. It also gives general information about Liberia. The powerpiont is at the end. You will need to click on the picture to advance through the powerpiont. liberia.ppt

 
Permit me to tell you about Ellen Johnson Sirleaf,
Who is generous, kind,
Loving to all, gifted,
And respectful.
She is the first black female president,
A grandmother of six,
A mother of four,
  She received a masters degree from Harvard.
The Ellen I remember the most,

Helped Liberia a lot,

            Was sentenced to ten years in prison for speaking out,
          And is referred to as the “Iron Lady” because she is so strong.
