Man walks backwards 700 km to protect rainforest

Medi Bastoni is walking backwards for 700 km because he


is worried about the destruction of the rainforests in his
country. Indonesia has 16,000 islands and most are covered
by immense rainforests. Deforestation is happening where
he lives and he thinks that they will disappear if they are
not protected and rebuilt. Rainforests are so important
because they absorb carbon emissions from our industries
and vehicles and provide a habitat for many endangered
species. Scientists are shocked by the destruction and
estimate that the amount of the world’s rainforests that
have disappeared are almost twice the size of Japan.
a. Why do you think Medi chose to walk backwards? Because He want to dr
attention
Do you think it’s difficult?  Yest it does. Because we cannot see things
around us, so we may fall down.

Warming up the community

When Emma Burkhart was 9 years old she received two


blankets as presents and it gave her an idea. Emma was
interested in community projects and helping others.
She thought there were children and elderly people who
needed the blankets more than her, so she started to
collect them. The first year she collected 200 blankets,
which she was very pleased with. Last year, she collected
900 new blankets! This year she is excited about
collecting even more for different organisations in her
local community.
d. What was Emma’s community project?
e. Why do you think elderly people and children might need the blankets?
f. Have you ever done a physical challenge for charity?
