The Democratic Republic of the Congo has a history of European colonization and exploitation of its resources. It gained independence in 1960 and speaks French and several native languages. The country has a tropical climate and abundant natural resources but much of its potential remains untapped due to lack of infrastructure and an ongoing education crisis. Over half of children experience delays in starting school or do not attend due to poverty, child labor, and other factors. The document proposes seeking international aid or trade deals to generate funds for improving the education system.

Tibet is a plateau region in Asia located within China that has been a source of tension between Tibetans and the Chinese government. Historically, Tibet governed itself as an independent nation but China invaded in the 1950s and has exercised control over Tibet since that time. This has led to significant human rights issues as Tibetans face restrictions on their cultural and religious practices and many have been displaced from their homes. The Tibetan government-in-exile operates out of Dharamsala, India but lacks international recognition. The Dalai Lama remains the influential spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism.
African Geography
1) Africa has diverse geography including the Sahara desert in the north, tropical rainforests in the central region, and grasslands and coastal plains in the south. Major mountain ranges and rivers also exist.
2) European colonization beginning in the late 19th century has left its mark politically, economically and culturally on the various regions of Africa.
3) While Africa's wildlife such as lions and elephants were once abundant, decades of human activities including hunting, war, and habitat loss have endangered many species; however, conservation efforts including national parks provide some protection.

Biological History of NZ
New Zealand was originally part of the supercontinent Gondwana around 170 million years ago. It broke away from Gondwana around 80-60 million years ago, forming its own continental plate called Zealandia. As Zealandia separated from Australia and Antarctica over millions of years, most of its land mass sank beneath the sea. Around 23 million years ago, only a few scattered islands remained above sea level. Today, New Zealand is rising from the sea floor as the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates collide, creating new land. Flora and fauna arrived in New Zealand via wind, water or flying over the oceans from other land masses like Australia over millions of years.

Democratic republic of the congo presentation
- 1. The Democratic Republic of the Congo By Marianne Feng 3-16-13 Period 1
- 2. History and Language The languages that the Democratic Republic of the Congo speak is French, Lingala, Kikongo, Swahili, and Tshiluba. Thousand of years ago, the Bantu people migrated from the western of Africa to the Central of Africa. The Portuguese arrived in the late 1400s In the late 1800s, an European, named Leopold II of Belgium took over the Congo region for it’s rich resources. Leopold II enslaved the people living there and took the land. Belgium took the Congo from Leopold II and made it thgeirs. On 1908, it was known as the Belgium Congo. In 1960, the Congo gained independence and was known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- 3. Geography The middle part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is tropical climate meaning it is hot and humid. The north of this country is cooler, wetter, and drier. Lots of natural resources are cobalt, copper, tantalum, tin, timber, coal, uranium, and much more. It has multiple lakes but, they are mostly full of water disease from the war. There are a small amount of large cities. Most of the people are into agriculture.
- 4. Problem The main problem I’m focusing on is the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s education system. More than half of children start school late. It says three times more children are out of school. The reasons for this is because of the children's’ parents low education, kids forced to hard in the mining industry or the agriculture industry, or early marriages. There are also not enough schools and teachers for the students. Because of the lack of schools and teachers we have low education. The Congo sadly cannot help because they do not have the money.
- 5. Solution My solution for this education problem is to get more money or seek out help from other countries. Our solution for this problem will be getting help from Yemen. A trade treaty was made by Yemen. The trade was that Yemen gives us oil and men to build railroads to transport goods. While The Congo will give diamonds. The oil will give us money and the men will give us more chances to transport are items for trade.
