ACTIONAID - EDUCATION FOR ALL

Having decided to take part in the activities recommended by ACTIONAID regarding EDUCATION AROUND THE WORLD, we found out about schools in other countries, the difficulties students have to face every day because of poverty and famine, We also decided to take pictures, draw, paint and 'physically form' our choice of word to complete the phrase
WE WANT EDUCATION THAT...



Concentrating to draw the perfect picture
WE WANT EDUCATION THAT...

Hey...I need that colour...this is a work of art
WOW...we're absolutely devoted,,,,



Will we manage to form a word with our bodies...or is it just wishful thinking



Mrs Mitchell is definitely going to help us out...she's creative and imaginative and that's what we need
Hey guys...wake up

Almost ready...

Is that a word I see before me...

If

If—

BY RUDYARD KIPLING
(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)
If you can keep your head when all about you   
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;   
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;   
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
