The document discusses poverty around the world and in China. It defines different types of poverty and notes that about 3 billion people live in poverty. It then discusses a student group called "Leap Over Poverty" that aims to raise money through fundraisers to sponsor a library in Shanghai through an organization called Shanghai Sunrise, in order to help break the cycle of poverty.
The United Nations has set a goal to reduce child mortality globally. While progress has been made to reduce child deaths from 12.7 million in 1990 to 7.2 million currently, the target has not yet been achieved. Ongoing conflicts in places like the Middle East and Africa have hindered progress, as have disagreements between world powers. To further reduce child mortality rates, the author proposes raising community awareness, engaging local governments, and using social media to communicate the issue and call for donations to support solutions.
Poverty is defined as having little to no money and resources. About 25,000 people die daily from hunger or hunger-related causes, and over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day. Microfinance organizations like Grameen Bank provide small loans to poor individuals, usually women, to start small businesses and lift themselves out of poverty.

- 54% of adults suffered from stunting as children, meaning over 8 million people of working age cannot achieve their full potential due to early malnutrition.
Press Release- Rural woman lag behind on MDGsuncsd2012
Rural women around the world continue to lag behind men on key development goals due to lack of access to resources and persistent inequalities. While governments have committed to gender equality, they have failed to meet targets to support rural women. Rural women make up 79% of the agricultural workforce in developing countries but receive less than 10% of credit, 7% of extension services, and have reduced access to land, education, and infrastructure. To achieve sustainable development, governments must address the underlying inequalities facing rural women at the upcoming Rio+20 conference through concrete programs and resources.
Rural development aims to lift the rural poor out of poverty through various strategies and mechanisms. However, implementing these strategies can be difficult due to issues like programmatism and paternalism. Programmatism involves implementing uniform programs without considering local needs, while paternalism involves outsiders imposing assistance without input from those they are trying to help. Political feasibility is important to resolve conflicts from these issues and ensure funds are used as intended to actually benefit the poor.
This document proposes eradicating extreme poverty and hunger by creating and setting up local resources, spreading awareness through representatives and social media, and implementing UN programs shown to reduce poverty and hunger. About 13% live in poverty locally, and the author wants to help others through establishing aid and informing communities.
This document discusses how GIS can be used to support sustainable development goals (SDGs).

It also notes that sustaining GIS programs requires convincing donors and management of how GIS can enhance results and make development funds go further.
Poverty is defined as lacking material possessions or money. Common causes of poverty include corruption, economic trends, overpopulation, and diseases. Poverty is addressed by creating jobs, raising minimum wage, providing health coverage and paid leave, and economic security programs. Organizations like CARE and Doctors Without Borders work to reduce poverty by providing aid, training, healthcare, and disaster relief in poor communities worldwide. Individuals can help by volunteering or donating money to support the missions of these organizations.
This document discusses how social media is used around the world, particularly in developing countries. It provides perspectives from four experts on both the benefits and limitations of social media in developing contexts. Key points made include that social media allows for widespread sharing of information, helps with communication and co-creation, but also has issues like only certain groups gaining attention and potential government monitoring. Overall, while social media provides opportunities, it is only a tool and not a full solution for development challenges.
Role of businesses-in_alleviating_povertyNeeraj Garwal
Businesses can play an important role in alleviating poverty according to this document.

Transfers to older people in developing countries can reduce poverty and support economic growth. As populations age in developing nations, social pensions that provide monthly cash transfers to elderly citizens can help support households and communities. Evidence from countries implementing social pension programs like Lesotho, Bolivia, and Bangladesh show they reduce poverty among older people and their families, encourage local production and trade, and only require about 1% of GDP to finance. Well-designed social pensions have potential to both aid vulnerable elderly populations and contribute to economic development in poor communities.
This document discusses poverty and efforts to eliminate it by 2015. It notes that 50% of the human population suffers from poverty, with over 660 million living on less than $2 per day. 189 countries have committed to ending extreme poverty through the UN's Millennium Development Goals by creating jobs and employment to improve lives and health. The document promotes social responsibility and introduces Kiva, a organization that provides microloans to entrepreneurs in need. It highlights one entrepreneur, Teresia Nieri Knria, and proposes that the student council create a Kiva club to help those living in poverty.

The document discusses declining engagement in various areas like work, education, civic participation, and mental health. It argues that modern generations experience a disconnect between their needs and a world still structured for previous generations. Companies have spent over $1 trillion with little results by not focusing on engagement. Engagement must be scientifically designed through mechanics like those in video games. Experiences should be personalized and gamified with short-term goals, feedback, and narrative to better engage audiences. An "Engagement Director" could help companies transform digitally with these principles in mind.

Capoeira originated in Brazil as a martial art developed by African slaves to resist oppression and preserve their culture. It combines fighting, dancing, and acrobatics accompanied by music. During its early history, capoeira was suppressed and practiced secretly. In the 1930s, two masters helped establish capoeira as a respected Afro-Brazilian cultural expression by developing standardized styles - Mestre Bimba created Regional style with martial arts elements, while Mestre Pastinha taught the traditional sly Angola style emphasizing disguise and playfulness. Capoeira spread across Brazil due to the dedication of these masters.

This document profiles several important black historical figures who fought for racial equality and civil rights:
Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist pastor who advocated for non-violent activism and peaceful protests for racial equality in the US. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
Zumbi led the quilombo of Palmares, a community of escaped slaves, in resistance to slavery in Brazil in the 1670s. He was killed in 1696.
Barack Obama was the first black president of the United States, elected in 2008. He was previously the first black senator from Illinois.
Ray Charles was an influential singer who refused to perform in segregated venues. He is considered one of
O texto discute o Dia da Consciência Negra no Brasil, destacando que a data lembra as consequências da escravidão e do racismo que ainda afetam as pessoas negras no país, e que o mês de novembro deve ser uma oportunidade para não esquecer a vergonha do racismo na história brasileira.
African culture had a significant influence on Brazilian culture through the slave trade. Enslaved people from different African ethnic groups and languages introduced diverse cultural traditions including dance, music, religion, food, and language. This influence is still evident today in various regions of Brazil, especially in states like Bahia that received many African slaves, in aspects of cuisine, music rhythms, and popular culture. Specific musical genres and dishes from Africa evolved into part of Brazilian culture, such as samba, lundu, acarajé, vatapa.
The National Black Consciousness Day in Brazil commemorates the death of Zumbi, the leader of Palmares who symbolized the achievements of the black movement. The day was first celebrated in 1971 by the black movement to combat racial discrimination and spread awareness of their cause. It has since encouraged debates and cultural programs across Brazil on topics of racial issues and discrimination. However, some argue that rather than divide people by race, there should be a focus on human consciousness and equality every day of the year.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

CONVERSATION
CLUB 2019
15. Stage 1: Desired Outcomes
What is worth learning?
Essential Question
What big question or problem will drive student inquiry throughout the
unit?
How might we raise awareness to reduce hunger and poverty in
the world?
Enduring Understanding
How will your students still be impacted by this unit in 20
Learning Objectives
What will students know, feel, and be able to do as a result of this
unit?
In this class our students will see some data about the
poverty and hunger in our country, along side graphics that
present the waste of food, and the “food path”. Our main
goal with this class is for them to see how our country is
affected by this issues and stimulate the students to think
of solutions for it, in country and our community scale.
In 20 years, we’re still going to be affected by
natural disasters. This objective of this unit is to make
the students see that, regardless of what social class
they belong to, there are things that can be done to
help people that go through many losses during a
natural disaster. This will probably stay in their minds,
seeing as it is knowledge applicable to any moment in
life.
16. Stage 2: Evidence of Learning
How will you know they are learning?
The students will have a bigger base of information on the
matter, in this way improving their critical sense about it.
Assessment Tools
What tools will you use to measure learning?
(Rubrics, observation protocols, etc)
The T.A’s will be using a slide show presentation,
graphics, and a the game Spent
Formative Assessments
● How will you measure student growth
throughout the unit?
● What are you hoping to discover about how
your students are learning?
17. Stage 3: Learning Activities
What will the students do?
Launch Activity
How will you introduce this unit to
students?
Our warm up consists of discussing and problematising the phase “TO SAY THAT
PEOPLE STARVE IN BRAZIL IS A BIG LIE” said by the Brazilian President
Resources
What texts, videos, images, etc. will
students engage with as part of their learning?
The game SPENT - which simulates a reality where the gamer has to survive thirty
days, but he does not have a lot of money. So you must make decisions throughout
the game and in the end your choices may or may not lead to you to survive.
Sharing the Story
How will you share what your students are
doing? Who needs to know about this
project?
In some of our meetings, we have students craft something (posters, books and
whatnot) to be spread around school. At the same time that it draws more people
to our weekly encounters, it helps people from outside to see what might be a
different perspective on whatever is the current trending subject.
We want as many people to know about the Conversation Club as possible, seeing
as it is an all-age project that covers every sort of day-to-say subject that can
affect a society
