Mungo Park was a Scottish explorer born in 1771 who is famous for his journeys along the Niger River in Africa. On his first journey in 1793, he sailed from England to Indonesia and discovered 8 new fish and rare plant species. On his second journey in 1796, Mungo Park sailed from England to the Niger River in Africa funded by Sir Joseph Banks. He navigated over 13,500 kilometers along the Niger River, having some close encounters, but managing to survive. Sadly, Mungo Park was never seen again after 1805 in Gambia, Africa.

Australia day
Australia Day is celebrated annually on January 26th. It is a national holiday that occurs during the Australian summer. While many Australians spend the day having barbecues with friends and enjoying the warm weather, some Indigenous Australians view this day negatively as it commemorates the beginning of British colonization of Australia in 1778. They see it as celebrating the invasion of their lands and the oppression of Aboriginal people that followed.

A brief history of australia
1) The first convicts were transported from Britain to Australia beginning in 1787 as an alternative punishment to hanging for crimes. 2) Life was difficult for the early colonists as they established settlements with few supplies. 3) Exploration and the establishment of new colonies continued in the 19th century, growing the Australian population, though conflict with indigenous peoples remained an ongoing issue.

The document discusses the history of the uninhabited Inishkea islands off the coast of Mayo, Ireland. It describes how the islands were previously inhabited until 1934, with the islanders making their living from fishing and kelp harvesting. Life was difficult without electricity or easy access to supplies from the mainland. The document outlines aspects of the island communities like rivalries between the islands, the school and burial sites. It also discusses the whaling station that operated briefly in the early 1900s, employing some islanders until it closed down. Natural wildlife seen around the islands is also mentioned.

Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson, and William Wentworth led an expedition in 1813 to find a way across the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, as the growing colony needed more land. They brought supplies for six weeks and cut their way through thick bushland. It was difficult work with dangers like slippery terrain. After finding grass and water, they saw good grazing lands beyond the mountains. Their successful crossing opened new areas for settlement and helped shape the colony's growth.

The Aboriginal people lived in Australia for 40,000 years, hunting kangaroos and gathering berries for food. In 1770, Captain James Cook discovered Sydney and in 1788 the First Fleet arrived in Sydney with over 1,400 convicts beginning European colonization. Throughout the 1700s and 1800s, over 160,000 convicts were sent to Australia from Britain, displacing many Aboriginal people and causing conflict. By the late 1800s, Australia was developing into an independent nation with cities, farms, infrastructure and each state having its own government. In 1901, Australia became a sovereign country known as the Commonwealth of Australia.

2) After the American Revolutionary War, Britain began transporting convicts to Australia to establish penal colonies in 1788. More free settlers and convicts arrived, gradually changing the character of the colonies.
3) The separate Australian colonies federated and became states of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, gaining dominion status under Britain. Australia today is a rapidly developing country with a strong economy based in mining, agriculture, and fishing.

Dante Inuit
The Inuit people live in the Arctic regions such as Canada and Greenland. They have developed specialized clothing and footwear for the harsh and frigid climate, including parkas made of caribou skin and boots with sealskin soles. As nomadic hunter-gatherers, the Inuit hunt marine animals like seals, walrus, and whales for food, which provides protein and fat to sustain them through the winter. They also gather berries and flowers when available in the short summer. Storytelling and drum dancing are important parts of Inuit culture and traditions.

The document outlines plans for an environmental volunteering program in East London communities surrounding the 2012 Olympic Park. The program aims to improve environmental quality and increase local environmental awareness through supporting existing initiatives like greening waterways, protecting woodlands, and green gyms. It will also provide funding for small community-led projects and signpost volunteers to resources. Future plans include continued support of local projects, new initiatives, and employment opportunities.

The GLV 2012 Volunteering Legacy project was an 18-month pilot across 22 London boroughs to harness enthusiasm for the 2012 Olympics and develop a volunteering legacy. It created online resources for volunteers and organizations, including templates, guidance, and a volunteering calendar. Over 1,000 people registered interest and it worked with over 200 organizations. Key findings were that more opportunities and support are needed for volunteering, especially in some sectors. While the pilot ended in April 2009, the online resources and events calendar will continue.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon as the commander of Apollo 11 in 1969. He was born in 1930 in Ohio and became a test pilot, which led to him being selected by NASA for the Apollo program. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon in the lunar module while Michael Collins orbited above in the command module. Armstrong famously said "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" when he became the first person to set foot on the lunar surface. He spent about two hours exploring the moon with Aldrin before returning safely to Earth.

The document discusses maximizing volunteering legacy from the 2012 London Olympics in England. It outlines opportunities for individuals and organizations to get involved in volunteering related to the Olympics and cultural events. However, it notes that individuals don't know how to get involved and organizations have questions about branding, funding, and support. To address this, plans are described to create a volunteering portal, provide regional volunteer support posts, and distribute limited funding for grassroots grants. The goal is to inspire more local and long-term volunteering beyond the 2012 Games.

The Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Plantation in 1620 after a difficult journey from England on the Mayflower. The first winter was devastating, with half of the Pilgrims dying due to the harsh conditions. In the spring of 1621, a Native American named Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to survive by showing them how to plant corn, tap maple trees, and identifying edible plants. That fall, the Pilgrims had a successful harvest and celebrated with the Native Americans, including Squanto and the chief Massasoit. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November as a national holiday where people give thanks and share a meal of traditional foods from that first harvest.
