This time I read the third quarter of the book. cal Bombay was back in Sudan and this time he went with a plane full of food aide. While on his way to go and free more people from slavery, he met the generals of the SPLA (Sudan people's liberation army). The generals talked about how they were going from village to village fighting rebels. cal Bombay had to walk for miles just to arrive were they would free slaves. Two hundred and forty nine women. They had a little trouble paying for the slaves because they seemed to not know the real number of the people who they were going to pay for. Once they figured out the number, they bought the people back from slavery and put them into freedom.

I am continuing reading the book, "let my people go". This time I read from page 57 to page 109. The author talks about how he had freed the people from slaves and he was interviewing the feed people about their experiences as slaves. After that he goes back to Canada to raise awareness. The media from Canada tried to change the subject into the fact that the reason he says Islams are making people into slaves, was because it was a religion matter than a slavery matter. Soon after he had raised more money he went back to Sudan to help and free other slaves. This was the second quarter of the book.

I began reading the book "let my people go" and I read the first 57 pages. It talks about how Cal R. Bombay a christian missionary who has worked in Africa for 17 years and now he had gone to Sudan. He had raised money to buy people who were sold as slaves. He and other missionaries went with food and medicine to Sudan. They entered a forbidden zone where you can get shot, the only thing he did was pray for his safety. He walked for miles and saw villages that looked like they had been destroyed by soldiers. They finally arrived and and they bought three hundred and nineteen slaves and they freed them all. This was the first quarter of the book and I am still going on.

I had sent a message to the UN workers. It asked about the current events and how they affected the goals. I sent the email to five people and only one of that got replied was "Thanks for your interest in the Millennium Development Goals. For the latest progress on the Goals, please see the MDG Report 2009 (this year's report will be coming out in June). It gives an overview of progress on each goal and each target, globally and regionally: http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/pdf/MDG_Report_2009_ENG.pdf

Regarding Haiti and other countries struck by disaster, they, of course, take a hit in terms of progress towards the MDGs. As an example of how the UN helps countries get back on track, you can read UNDP's "Empowering Haiti to Build a Better Future": http://www.undp.org/haiti/doc/Haiti-mainbrochureE-final-rev-sm.pdf

For more information, please visit the UN website: http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals
If you want to get engaged, take a look at what the Millennium Campaign is doing: http://www.endpoverty2015.org/." This was the only email that i got replied and the other have not been replied me yet. The only information i got was the information that i had read on the website.

I wanted to find out more of the millennium development goals. So I went to the Un's website to find out more. This time i did not read the information, I saw names and emails on the website that's for people you can email to and i emailed five of the people. This is the email that i send "what is the status of the millennium development goals in the past 05 years. with only five years left are the goals going to be fulfilled by the end of 2015. Haiti and Cuba suffered an extreme earth quake and the affects were terrifying, that also caused people to lose their houses, hospitals, schools and etc, living millions homeless. Did this affect the millennium development goals in any way for those countries and did this incident make it more hard to reach the goal". I am going to wait for the reply of my questions though its been a three days with out replies.

journal 7th

I have been researching about the millennium development goals and I went on the the UN's MDG website, I was looking at how much the world has accomplish for all the goals. I found out that many groups are participating in this project. I also found out that the people and many countries are far from reaching the millennium goals and others will not make it in 2015 because instead of getting better they are getting a whole lot worse. The UN are programing a summit to be done in September. On this summit they plan to alert each other to increase their pace of the goals.

Me and my fellow class mates went to the downtown theater to watch the movie last train home. The movie was about china's mass migrant workers. The movie was really touching because most family in china work everyday with no breaks and the only time when they have a break is in new years eve. That movie focuses on the mass migration of china and the environment in which they work in. It shows how they work hard on products that will be sold in western countries for cheap prices. It also shows how hard the life of a family is for china.

Saturday march the sixth, I had to do my proposal so i went to the public library. This was my first time writing a proposal so i had to search at google to learn how to write a proposal. I had to hurry in my search because for public libraries a person can only go on the computer for two hours. After I was done researching about proposal I started with the introduction. The first two paragraphs were completed excellently. I had wrote the paragraphs on Microsoft 2003. That's when I figured out that, I can not save my work on a public library computer. The H drive could not let me save my work. I had to save all my work on a blogger because I could not find another way.
