A day in the world’s shoes is the goal for the international day. This day only happen once a year. In that day , i had been listened to MR. David, he was telling us about the life of many poor people in the world. He show us the poor people had to make a paper bag and sold them to the shop so they can live and survived, but they can only made less than a dollar a day. Some of the family can not afford for they children to to school to had education, and they can’t even afford medicine when some of them are very sick.

Then we get to do some of the activity, we get to make paper bag like the poor people. we were put in a group of six people so we could be like a family then we could made the paper bag together, it was very fun and we get observe they work and felt about it.

When the day is over, i had learned many lessons from the goal. i had learned that there are many people out there are very poor, so we need to do something to help them. I hope we could do it to help them.
