Talofa'lava Kids,
How are you doing?
Today I am starting a new SLJ Activity. Can you recognise who's face is on the five dollar note? If you guessed Sir Edmond Hillary you are correct. He is known for being the first person and his sherpa to climb up to the top of Mt Everest(The Tallest Mountain it the Entire World).
Sir Edmond Hillary also did a lot of charity work. In 1960, he started the Himalayan Trust to bring safe drinking water, education and healthcare to the people of Nepal(the country where Mt Everest is located.
For this activity I am going to choose a charity I like. I chose SPCA. SPCA is a charity that helps protect over 40,000 animals that live in New Zealand each year. For example animals that are hurt sick or abandoned. I chose SPCA because I like animals.
Do you like any charity's?
Are you part of any charity's?
Thank you for reading this blog post feel free to comment if you like. Adios
Mōrena Talisa,
ReplyDeleteMikey here. Well done on completing another activity! :)
I really like how you've included some background information on Sir Edmund Hillary and explained why you've shared this post. It's really helpful for those who may not have heard of the Summer Learning Journey and don't know what the activities are.
Doesn't the SPCA do an amazing job?! Did you know that you can volunteer at your local SPCA? Which animals would you most like to help take care of if you were a volunteer?
I'm not part of any charities but I do sponsor a child in Kenya - his name's Max. We write letters to each other a few times a year. :)
Keep up the great work, Talisa. I can't wait to read more posts from you soon.
Mā te wā,
Mikey :)
