Topic: blood diamond trade.

The article go's over a definition of the topic, then states locations where it is prevalent. It then continues into describe how the trade funnels money to and from criminal and terrorist organizations, as well as supporting unstable governments in Africa. (Note I have sent a copy of  the presentation to you via email)

Power point  presentation coming along for the global goal. Just need to extend it so it fits the time frame.

We are nearing the final days of our project. As stated earlier by Rebecca, we have teamed up with Mr. Alexander's grade ten class to hold a colour run that will be this Friday, June 9th during period 3. Posters have been made by both his class and ours and students from his class have went around the school promoting the event as well as handing out permission forms. The 'paint' will be made from crushed up chalk and students are asked to bring their own white t-shirt/clothing they are willing to get colourful. TLSSHealthandWellbeing are in charge of a BBQ that will be held at lunch as well as the raffle draw that will be held at the end of the colour run. The plan is yet to be determined when the raffle will be held as well as back up plans for rain dates etc... However, we have come a long way and are excited to be holding our event!
