Beatrice's Goat (Story)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfByilQFAys Added: 09 Dec 2016 Contributor: Clare Quigley Resource type: Fuaim/físeán

Beatrice's Goat tells the story of how the lives of one poor family in Africa were dramatically improved by the simple gift of a goat from a charitable organization. Beatrice desperately wants to go to school, but her family cannot afford it. Instead, she spends her days caring for her younger siblings and helping in the fields on their small plot of land in a rural African village. Then one day, Beatrice's family receives a precious gift--a goat! In time, the goat provides milk to sell as well as baby goats, and soon the family has earned enough money so Beatrice can go to school.

Water

All living things need water. Water is never used up, it is nearly recycled, this is called the Water Cycle.

Recycling

Recycling means reusing waste rather than throwing it away.

Biodiversity

Protecting biodiversity is one of the greatest challenges facing us. 

Human Rights

Every person has worth and dignity, and therefore deserves certain basic rights.

Global Warming

Human activities are causing the world to heat a little more each year. This is having a negative effect on the environment, nature and animals. 

Syrian Civil War

The Syrian Civil War began in 2011 and to date over 400,000 people have been killed.
