    The Dead Child

    The theme of “The Dead Child” by Gabrielle Roy is about how a simple action can have a massive impact on our surroundings. In other words never underestimate the power of a simple action. In the story we are introduced to a group of Métis students, who are under privileged and are taught in poor working environments. Already we can see that these students do not have very much – money wise-. Despite their lack of necessities they were still able to give the gift of kindness, respect and love to their close friend Yolande. Their simple act of kindness not only changed their perspective on death but it also opened their hearts and allowed them to connect with their teacher throughout their moments of grief. By simply visiting Yolande before her burial helped the students cope with their misery and lift all the emotional weights from their tiny shoulders. Not only did they show others that Yolande was not…

    Critical Analysis Of The Ruby Payne Phenomenon

    The authors of the article “Poverty and Education: A Critical Analysis of the Ruby Payne Phenomenon seem to take offense of the fact that Ruby Payne has made money from her crusade. It appears they do not like the fact that Dr. Payne see the primary positive role models in children from poverty being their teachers. It is true that children have other role models who can serve as their “sponsors”, but Dr. Payne…

    Review of "Ordinary Resurrections" by Jonathan Kozol

    In his book, Ordinary Resurrections: Children in the Years of Hope, Jonathan Kozol pulls back the veil and provides readers with a glimpse of the harsh conditions and unrelenting hope that exists in a community located in the South Bronx called Mott Haven. Mr. Kozol provides his own socially conscious and very informative view of the issues facing the children and educators in this poverty ravaged neighborhood. Just his commentary would paint a very bleak picture of the future. It is the words of the children that give this book optimism and meaning. The courage and care exhibited by the volunteers of St. Ann's after school program and the creativity of the teachers at P.S. 30 are utterly inspiring. They work long hours and go beyond the call of duty to protect the innocence and cultivate the hope that resides in the hearts of Mott Haven's youngest residents.…

    Guycambo Business Analysis

    My partner and I founded a non-profit organization called GuyCambo several years ago – our objective is to create educational opportunities for the economically disadvantaged children here locally in Stockton, and in our respective countries of Guyana and Cambodia as well. We’re targeting the bottom half of poverty. The Khmer Rouge decimated the education infrastructure and there was nothing left. As a matter of fact, there is still no place for the undeserved children in Cambodia. As a result and extreme poverty, only the very few can afford a good education opportunity. I am bridging the gap for theses under privilege children. I am doing this right now but I want to be able to do this full time, which is why I am getting my education.…

    Still Hungry in America

    Marian Edelman Wright wrote the famous literacy narrative “Still Hungry in America”. Marian Wright has been a proponent for disadvantaged Americans her entire life. Edelman’s career began after graduating from Spellman College and Yale Law School. After graduation, she became the founding president of the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF). In result of Edelman’s phenomenal leadership, CDF has become the nation’s strongest voice for less-fortunate families and children. The mission of CDF is to “leave no child behind.” This mission was imposed to ensure that every child has a healthy start, a head start, a fair start, a safe start, and a moral start in life and a successful passage to adulthood. In addition, in the many professional positions Edelman held, her primary purpose was to stand up for the ones who lived in poverty and for the ones starving from food shortage. By writing “Still Hungry in America”, she intended to communicate this purpose so others would join the cause and help prevent family and children starvation.…

    One of the main goals of the not for profit organization School n Wheels is to provide homeless children with the necessary tools to attend school. Evidently, in order to carry their notebooks, textbooks, and other studying utensils necessary for success, these homeless children need backpacks. That is why; one of the main challenges this organization has, is helping these less fortunate children obtain new backpacks. In tackling this challenge, the definition of success for the School on Wheels organization would be to obtain a donation of 100 new backpacks, with different characteristics--or the equivalent in monetary donation in order for them to be able to buy the backpacks themselves.…

    John Hinchey's Reading Report

    Regarding Hinchey's chapter 3, after reading the statement of "What is best for kids?", my mind went rolling to experiences in my school. "Whose kids exactly are we talking about?" was the other question that could be answered differently in each school house. I had a general idea of the effects of poverty on the education of children from impoverished backgrounds, but it is still interesting to read such information as a reminder of the wrong assumptions we as teachers could have, such as lacking computers with Internet access or how the parents cannot help with their child's homework because of their own low literacy levels.…

    The Importance Of Education In Haiti

    People say you never how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have, I can attest to that. Coming from an economically deprived country like Haiti was one of the toughest obstacles I had to overcome. Even at a young age I always believed that education was the only way for a better life for my family, I saw my mother struggle to out food on the table, and me which is why I decided to take the initiative to go to one of the best schools in port-au-prince Haiti. I would wake up every morning at 5am; walk for 3 miles just to get there, no school in Haiti provided transportation for children who lived a certain radius from the school to receive transportation. I would get home everyday at 7pm just so I would be able to catch…
