Homelessness 1 - Industrial Zone High School
Moroccan and African immigrants, drug addicts, abandoned children, delinquents, and Syrian refugees are contributing to the homelessness problem in Nador, Morocco. Officials must provide support through non-profit organizations and awareness campaigns to address this issue and protect children. Corruption exacerbates the problem, so society must unite to show compassion to the homeless and help meet their basic needs like clothes, blankets, and medical care.
3 of the World’s Strangest Charities
The document discusses 3 of the strangest charities in the world:
1. The ISPCA held a dog sledding fundraiser in 2010 that forced huskies to endure hours of freezing cold and running, which goes against the ISPCA's mission of preventing animal cruelty.
2. Tall Clubs International is dedicated to promoting awareness of tall people and offers a $1,000 scholarship solely based on being at least 5'10" for women or 6'2" for men.
3. The Order of the Azure Rose is a charity that does renaissance-era reenactments focused on chivalry and etiquette to fund their educational programs, despite chivalry being considered outdated by many today
Human trafficing
The document discusses human trafficking, which is the third largest trade globally and a modern form of slavery. It describes how human trafficking exists everywhere, including in poor countries, Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, and within communities. Victims can include anyone - men, women, children - who are exploited and controlled by traffickers. The document shares stories of individuals from different countries who were trafficked and urges readers to educate themselves and get involved in efforts to raise awareness and aid organizations working to end human trafficking.
Rotary International End polio-now-brochure
Rotary International and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are partnering to end polio globally through the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Donations to Rotary's polio efforts will be matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation up to $35 million per year through 2018. While polio cases have decreased over 99% since 1988, continued funding is needed to maintain vaccination efforts in the remaining polio-affected countries of Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan and fully fund the 2013-2018 Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan's $5.5 billion budget. Failure to eradicate polio worldwide could result in over 200,000 new cases annually.
Charity marsala
This document discusses different types of charity practices including donations, voluntary work, and charity events. It also describes charity within companies through donations from workers and supporting charitable initiatives. Several celebrities involved in charity are profiled, such as Angelina Jolie who has adopted and given birth to children, and Paul Walker who supported relief efforts in many disaster areas. International charity organizations are mentioned like the International Committee of the Red Cross and results from a charity questionnaire are summarized.
Colorism and global standards of beauty
Colorism refers to discrimination based on the shade of one's skin tone within the same racial group. It is a global issue where societies often obsess over lighter skin and associate it with higher status and beauty. However, beauty is subjective and should not be restricted to any particular color or shape. Many influential figures like Michelle Obama, Rihanna, and Serena Williams showcase that brown skin can also be beautiful. Colorism promotes unhealthy standards, and all people should embrace their natural skin tone.
