Skype Call with Nasim Fekrat

Posted by Sherry in English 7 - (0 Comments)

2 days ago we had a skype call with an Afgani named Nasim Fekrat, a blogger and a photographer that lives in the United States. For me, the skype call wasn’t really exciting because the video wasn’t really clear and his voice, too. But the story he told us about him living in Afghanistan was awesome. We asked a few questions about the war in Afghanistan and in the end he told us a few things about blogging and photography. He also talked about him having no childhood, which is sad. But I like how he said that sometimes a bad thing could lead to a good thing, like his life. He had to move out of Afghanistan, but then he ended up in the US became a blogger and a photographer. Next time we have a skype call, I hope the internet connection is good so we can hear him clearly~ :]

Thank you Nasim~

Water for All ~ Response to Picture

The picture above shows a tap, padlocked. I think it’s located in Africa because most people that is suffering from the lack of water is from Africa. I think maybe they locked it because they have a very limited water and maybe because they want people to pay to the owner to get water. I think we sometimes do need a lock to taps because we might run out of water anytime.
If one day when I got home, and all the water supplies were shut, it will really affect my life. Because I’ve never live in a water-less condition. My family will be panicking, looking for water, or running to the mini markets buying drinkable water. Everyone in my neighborhood might share water and help each other just to get clean water. Maybe some of my relatives will stay in my house because they can’t get any water. This problem will lead to another problem. If we don’t have access to clean water for a long time, we could all get sick. And people might be put out of work because to many people were sick, and kids can’t go to school because their parents don’t have time to. And this problem could lead to death.
This situation is really bad. If they’re in this situation, they would probably look for clean water, but if the water that they could find is undrinkable water, they would get diseases, and people that doesn’t have enough money to get medicine, will eventually die. The lack of water will also affect to the economy and maybe, I’m not sure, will raise the price of food, too. What we could do to conserve water is use water if you need it. I’ve seen some advertisements too, about some kind of a water purifier that could change dirty water to drinkable water, we could maybe use that.

Why can’t kids have school in Afghanistan?

Posted by Sherry in English 7 - (0 Comments)

I almost finish the boy overboard book and I decided to write a blog post, answering one of the questions from the chapter brief explanation that we made. From all the questions available, I was really interested in the question, “Why can’t they have school in Afghanistan?” Personally, I think that schools are forbidden in Afghanistan because they think that if they let the kids go to school, the kids will be more creative, open minded, and become critical thinkers and in the future they could go against the government or taliban. And in Afghanistan, boys are still allowed to get education, but not girls. The talibans believe that girls should stay at home and not get education because they think that in the future, girls don’t need to work and they only need to cook and clean the house.

Maybe there are more reasons on why can’t kids have school in Afghanistan, but after searching for quite a while, I can’t really find a different answer for this question, so maybe if you have an answer or an opinion, please comment on this blog post. :]

11.11.11

Posted by Sherry in Personal - (0 Comments)

HI GUYS! It’s Saturday today and yesterday was my birthday :]

I think everyone of you knows that yesterday was 11 November 2011. And it was also my birthday. I went to Ocean Park BSD, which is located in Tangerang. I went there with my friends, Thalia, Ivonne, Jessie, Justin, Asykar, Kevin, Rendy, and Ivan. We had so much fun there. In ocean park, there are a few sections and slides. There is a wave pool, a lazy pool, and a shallow water section for little kids. Swimming and playing together was really fun. After that, we went to teraskota, a mall near ocean park to hang out and eat. On the way there, we saw an ORANGE MOON. At first I thought it was just an ordinary moon, but it was so low and it looks orange. Thalia convinced me that it’s venus that we saw! I wasn’t sure what it is, until now. So, if you know anything about this ‘orange moon’, please tell me!

Didn’t get many presents, but I got this cute little panda doll from Ivonne!

And here is a picture that we took in ocean park!

Nationalism

Posted by Sherry in English 7 - (0 Comments)

I think nationalism comes from school, friends, teachers, and sometimes family. I don’t really know where my nationalism comes from but I do love my country, Indonesia because of its people, its landscapes, and its culture. Even though sometimes there is this feeling, when something not good happened in the country and by the government. Those events sometimes annoy me and a “hate” feeling just pop out. But I still love my country. Some people loves their country too much and they can start conflicts among countries which is not good. I learnt these things when I’m in elementary, in my old school. I think nationalism is very important, because we have to respect and love our own country. And without nationalism a country is not a country.

Afghanistan English Pecha Kucha Presentation

Posted by Sherry in English 7 - (0 Comments)

This is a movie me and Riam made for english class to start our new term using pecha kucha style. It’s about Afghanistan and its culture. It wasn’t the most interesting project I’ve ever done, but it took quite a while to find good pictures and write the information. I think I did a pretty good job and I really want to try Afghan food! :9

We are going to contact an Afghan that doesn’t live in Afghanistan anymore about the war that is still going on in Afghanistan, what is the reason and how much damage has it caused, Is there famous singers that sings pop songs? Is there good education in Afghanistan?  Do you still want to go back to Afghanistan?

enjoy the moviee~~
