January 22 Haiti In Haiti, there was an earthquake in 2010 that devastated the country and now, there are still children who have no access to education. The majority (51.3%) of Haitians are illiterate because 92% of schools are not under the control of government. Also, 85% of teachers are not qualified. The school system is so different than that of France and the United States. We could not imagine being a Haitian student.

Viet Nam Viet Nam has one of the best school systems in the world. The literacy rate over 15 years is 90.3%. But something that is not very well is that the environment is not interactive between teachers and students. One of the values ​​is important in Viet Nam is happiness, and it's not like that in the United States. We want children to have a future that shines.

The excision Senegal is a problem that still exists today. The rate of excision was 28% in 2005. There are NGOs involved in excision and try to intervene, but they do not have the chance to eradicate it completely. Circumcision has no Muslim, although there are people who think that this is the case. Also, circumcision is not a religious issue because it started before the birth of Islam. FGM is a practice that is very dangerous and could cause the death of a mother and her newborn.

There are plenty of differences between the French and the Americans with education. For example, it is much easier for a french to get a degree from a university because they do not need to pay every month miles to become educated person. Obviously, this is a system that allows more people to enter.

During the weekend, __I went__ to California to visit universities. __I wanted to__ see __if there is__ a university that interests me because it is difficult to know what we think of a university if n 't visit. I loved Occidental College was a liberal arts college and it was located in the heart of Los Angeles. But I also visited UC-San Diego and the university did not like me at all. In return, we took a night flight which took off at 22:30, and then I came back at 5.30am. I could not sleep at all during the flight because __I had__ a side hallway and the man who was by my side took both armrests (What bastard!) instead. In addition, __in__ __ fl __ __ant__ in California, I forgot é it was colder in NYC and I had no coat when we got there even when the temperature was 15 degrees.

In Belgium, we want to improve the system of education to educate more children. One of things that will change is the index on which a student is considered "disadvantaged" (change come from the child and not the school). In addition, we want more places in kindergartens because they believe that this is an important thing. Finally, the parents do not want their children to study a lot of geography (we do not think it is necessary).

The other day I went to the supermarket with my mother for shopping. As it was September we start to sell the autumn candy. Seeing them, I started to feel very sick. When I was ten, I went on holiday with my family at the Grand Canyon. Me, I was very happy to go there and I counted the days until we leave. But I had no idea what came after I'd arrived. Two days later we were in the southwest, I went very very sick and I did not know what my body was doing. Obviously, I had the flu. I was completely miserable. I could not stop coughing and hold my stomach. The only things I could eat were the "candy corn" because all the other food would make me sick. I can not even eat. This is one of my worst memories. There was nothing for me to do. My parents did not know what they could do because we had to wait five days for us to leave. I cried and cried and cried. And I ate lots and lots of candy corn ... It was the first and last time I went to Arizona.

Less food is sold in Belgium, and this is the first time since World War II that was the case. The reason for this decline in sales is due to the crisis that exists. There are still more people who are not working and the economy is not good. An increasing number of people are more strict when they go to the grocery store. The decline is a percent, but it is still important. Currently, the Belgian buy less food each time to the grocery store before.

For the first time in twenty months, there is a reduction in the number of people seeking asylum in Belgium. Nevertheless, there are still many people who seek asylum and often come from countries where there is a war. Also, the number of unaccompanied minors is decreasing. In the near future, we will see if more people will come. Finally, asylum applications are humanitarian or medical reasons stabilize.

The Belgian government is doing enough to improve the treatment system for wastewater. They have a lot of financial penalties, and water is still polluted. Belgium began trying to change its processing system during the 1990s. In Belgium, all cities with more than 10,000 inhabitants need to have a system of treatment. The government fines more than 20 million euros. Nobody agrees with what we must do to change.
