"Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course. These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program , a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and more. The children don't just plan any city. They map and analyze the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. " Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom," says the teacher who developed this program. "They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected ` official’ and ` planning group’ make all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser. " CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the children's own standards. 查看更多

  Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water.More than 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation(衛(wèi)生設(shè)備).

  The combination proves deadly.Each year, diseases related to inadequate(不適當(dāng)?shù)?water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world.Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.

  Consider these facts:

  ●Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.

  ●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.

  2)Sponsor(贊助)a project with a faith-based organization

  Many U.S.religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad.Simply put a single project by a U.S.organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.

  3)Support nonprofit water organizations

  Numerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water and sanitation.Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows, some organizations are large, others small-scale, some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America.Support them generously.
