Poverty is where people have unreasonably low living standards compared with other ; can most definitely  not afford to buy important items to feed or protect them selves/family. Today, nearly half the world’s 6 billion people lives on less than $2 a day. However, poverty is a real life affecting both rich and poor countries . In developed countries it is a possible chance that 1 in 10 children live below the poverty line. The situation in developing countries is much worse now.

In the year 2000 (separated by the rest of the years) 1.7 million children were needlessly lost because countries around the world failed to reduce poverty levels. (Many people are struggling for a popper medication to help them live!). When all those children with Poverty grow up , they pay a heavy price. Research shows that they have more sickness, perform poorly in school, have more mental health problems, and a possibility that they might die in a early age if a positive cure is not found.

Children in poverty face greatly reduced educational prospects and future life chances. This is the conclusion not just of social policy experts and government statisticians, but of early aged children themselves. Having Poverty changes the way the children react in class and to other class mates, they also feel that they have been “got at” by their teachers some how.

Now to tell you about their daily life; After all that suffering from Poverty parents and children have to build their own houses to live, if not they have to sleep on the ground under a rock or a tree. (It’s horrifying to hear it that way). When they eventually build their homes they sleep on rotten mats, they might even have to sleep on the filthy floor if they had no choice.

Although here is a chart on poverty percentages:

The bad thing is that it is in like 2 weeks and I have not done my rountine yet or got my song! But I know what song! And I got lots of moves in my head just to keep me confident! So wish me luck guyz!

As Light as Air ‘

I love Australia for all it has! i love Australia also for the way it is! nothing else! Here I’ll Show you what i love about my country!! (I got the idea from Nadine! I saw her writing the post and i thought if i could do the same!).

Sydney Harbour Bridge :

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the most recognizable symbols of Australia . The Bridge provides a frame for one of the most beautiful har bors in the world and holds a special place in the city’s heart.

Wow don’t you love the view?

Jamberoo:

Jamberoo is NSW’s biggest fun park and there’s alot of fun and entertainment to be had. Think water thrills and spill s, a massive wave pool, speed slides, rock jump, racing cars, the famous mountain toboggan…….and that’s not even half of it. Th e new ride ‘The Taipan’ is the park not for the faint-hearted! It’s the first ride of its type in Australia – consisting of two giant slides that are totally in the dark! You will descend into a disorienting world of darkness with a terrifying g ride of drops, twists and turns.

Luna Park:

Lubna Park is amazing! The good thing is that you can go in for free! But you just have to pay a couple of coins to get on the rides! Pay one amount and receive this bracelet to allow you to enter any game or ride you want! As much as times as you want! That’s what I love about Luna Park!  You can also see the lovely view of the harbor bridge while your there! That’s a bonus!

Sydney Opera House:

The Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point, which reaches out into the harbor. The skyline of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the blue water of the harbor and the Sydney Opera House, viewed from a ferry or from the air, is dramatic and unforgettable .

As you know people can call me different sort of names, you may call me Norma or normastar. Those are both my names! Just to tell you, you can call me anything you like! Because i just want you to know just not to get you confused because i used to think you thought Norma was another person! I would totally get confused! So if yo are confused with what i am saying just tell me! I just want to know! No need to be shy! I just like to know! That’s all! Bye
