during class...


As we sit here during class I suddenly remember why I’m doing this.

About a year ago I was trekking I the Himalaya and I passed a tiny school, I asked our guide some questions

How do the parents get the finances to pay for their children’s schooling and what are the children’s opportunities for further education after preschool.

The guide answers were shocking. The parents could in most of the cases not pay for their children’s schooling at all. That gives the result that only 20 percent of the children I Nepal will continue after 5th grade. The Nepalese are such a friendly and open people that I can’t help feeling how unfair the world is. The country is amazingly beautiful and its people deserve so much better, the country actually have the resources to supply themselves without help from anyone, but the west and especially India are so possessive that Nepal has to buy electricity of India despite the fact that all the electricity are made in Nepal by steams….
I want to teach people and especially children how they can have a better life and how to benefit from the raw materials and resources that they have.

I want to help children around the world to have some of the same opportunity to learn as I have.
I want to show children that they are all special.
I want to show children that no matter where you are born you can achieve something in live.
I want to pass on my knowledge to others who might not have the possibility to go to school.
This course about globalization can be very helpful for me and others who want to make a different in the world.
