Central Asia Institute
The Central Asia Institute are a series of schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan built for kids who want an education but dont have enough money to get one. It started when a guy was climbing a mountain but ended up in a village, where he saw that students in schools were using sticks and the ground as school utensils. When he got back to America he raised money and started making the schools. The goal of the schools was to educate the children. They want to give the kids the best education possible by making the teachers go through lots of training before they become teachers. They mainly focus on the women hoping that by educating them it will reduce the rate of mortality for babies. Some of the other goals are to reduce crime and to stop the war on terrorism. Today there are 11 schools in Asia trying to help the students.
peace
Ghandi and Dr. Martin Luther King jr. are some of the first names that come to mind when i first think of the word peace. Some activist that have protested using peace are the ones that have had the biggest influence and left their mark in history. Peace is actually a very powerful word for having a meaning so tranquil. When you think about it , it has actually started conflicts between the government and its people. Its is something that most people want and have been wanting for years but may never happen because it is in our nature to disagree and fight. Every once and a while their is one special personwho hets a group of people to join in on what he is doing but even though they get closer to their goal, thernever completely achieve it and perhaps never will.
