Day 6

Today we are supposed to start on our presentation but as my group is away at football I am busy putting the final touches on my information that I will be presenting. I found out today that there are NO plans being made by the Federal Government of Australia to regulate the amount of Fast Food that is advertised on television!

We also had a guest speaker come to talk to us today. She discussed third world health and how instead of just throwing money at the problem we should take the time to educate the underprivileged people about how to deal with the problems themselves, such as personal hygiene. These people do not even know that washing your hands after you go to the toilet will help you to not get diarrhoea! By actually teaching these people things that most of us know from birth we can help them to prevent getting diseases that are killing them but that we manage to survive with ease because we know how to deal with it when we get it. If we do this we can help THEM build a better life for THEMSELVES!
