Over the last year we have been studying about Africa. Our primary resource was Africa A Land of Hope by Donna Ward. We also used many of the other resources she sold about Africa as well as DVD's, libray books, websites and guest speakers from mission trips to various parts of Africa.
For their culminating projects the boys are writing essays examining whether or not aid to Africa is a hinderance or help to those living in poverty. One of the books we are using is Dead Aid by Dambiasa Moyo. I must admit that this study has opened my eyes to a lot of issues and made me rethink some of my ideas about aid.
I look forward to reading the boys' papers when they are finished.
