Dear people of the
world
It’s a shame that
millions of people around the world do not get the same education opportunities
that we do. About 57 million people around the world do not go to school and
about half of them have disabilities, Lucy is one of these people. She has a
disability caused by polio. This has caused her right leg to stay permanently
bent. Even if she could go to school she would have to crawl there and back and
when she got to school they wouldn’t have the right facilities for her. So we
need to get together and put things right.
Yours sincerely
Zane
Hi Zane,
ReplyDeleteI like how you make a global situation feel very personal by describing Lucy and what her life must be like. You are showing great empathy when you do this. I also like how you include yourself when it comes to solving the problem.
Perhaps you and your classmates can do more to help. Ask your teacher if you can read more about the global effort to help children get an education through an organization called Room to Read. They are wonderful and have helped millions of children in Asia and Africa.
Good luck with your writing!
