MUSIC IDEAS**- link to lyrics or sound clip

I was thinking Dreaming With a Broken Heart... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyU6QrdlXz4 Or Stacie Orrico, Strong Enough <<< I really like this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkpcRwp3qsI Both without Lyrics

I thought the the music in the beganing of Leave Out All The Rest. I know that the woeds dont macth but just listen to the beat. here is a karaoke verison: []

i looked up the song dreaming with a broken heart and really liked it without the lyrics but i think we might have to speed it up a little. i also like the song waiting on the world to change by john mayor but i think it would only work if we used words because it didnt sound as great without the lyrics. but if we did do words for most the time i think it would be better because it goes more with it. both songs are good thought. dreaming with a broken heart with lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NZZ6tXCuO8 dreaming without lyrics- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyU6QrdlXz4 waiting for the world to change with lyrics- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPOBMzMTP4U waiting for the world to change without lyrics- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pb00AsFFHc lyrics to waiting on the world to change- http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/johnmayer/waitingontheworldtochange.html check it out. and also if we did waiting on the world to change i think our main hook word could be waiting instead of except. so like people in africa are waiting for you..... ect. some part of the lyrics would really be good. and it had to do with our generation so listen to the song and read the lyrics at the same time - rupali

I was reading through what people posted and this is what i came up with. Strong Areas:Zimbabwe, South Africa, Algeria, Egypt,Sudan, Ethiopia, Seychelles (they are in random order) //Weak Areas//:Botwana, Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, The U. Rep. of Tanzania, Chad, Burundi, Guinea-Bissau //Main Problems//: access, cost, safty, number of schools/ teachers/ supplies i have found that the weaker areas are in generally the same area: "the armpit" or the area near the equator but more to the west side of Africa then the East. If you have more info please add to what i wrote thx _margaret

I like your idea KAtie so i think we should try to find a place that needs our help the most, somewhere where their is something we can change to make more people go to school whether it is safty, access, supplies, teachers, or just providing money to go to school. Please post different countries you think we should research and find out more about or you know are poor

I was looking at bbc world fact book when i found an article about a program called tessa (teacher education in Sub Sahara Africa) they have great ideas that we should look at. their webcite is http://www.tessafrica.net/ and if you guys have time you REALLY should look at this!!! (i also put this on exicting efforts but i wasn't sure were to put it)

i thought of something, this project is focusing on Africa, which is a hugh continent, i think we need to focus on one country, or maybe 2 or 3, because it;s going to be hard to try to focus on all the countries when they're all so differnt. so i think we should pick 1 country to focus on and really think about. -katie

I think both are good ideas, I think it would be good to give to a particular school, but I also think that it would be good to make an area safe, because with a larger area safer for kids, more kids can go to the schools and if more kids can go in a safer place, then it would make it much easier for them to attend school. So i think both ideas are good, but i think that making an area safe for kids would be better, or maybe, if we have the resources try to make a school and its area safe, and give supplies to that same school, although that might be kind of difficult.... still we should consider both those ideas. they're really good! -katie

I agree with weston but how will we decide which school?? I think we should improve the safty, and access to education rather than supplies. also another idea i had is... South Africa has had better education then many other countries. if we can figure out what South Africa is doing to be so successful we can apply that to other countries -margaret

I think that we should randomly choose a small school in a small African town to give supplies to. By supplies, I mean pencils, markers, scissors, rulers, etc. Just basic school supplies that will make their experience at school more enjoyable and have more variety. I did this at Boy Scouts once. It felt good to give! :D Posted by SApurplehayabusa (Weston)
