Blogger post #9 - Ethical Gifts for Christmas (Not completed)

Greeting's and salutation's to all the Blogger's reading this, since now that christmas is over for us, and we were all spoiled! Our class had done ethical gift giving, since we were "All" Spoiled here, doesnt mean that other's where spoiled in other devoloping countries such as Africa, its sad to know that many children did die from deseases in Africa on christmas morning, of course not just Africa but in many other devolping countries.

For this assignment I was given 100$ (No not really, for the assignment) to spend on things that will help in devoloping countries, we were given four choices of which ethical gift giving sites we could use, out of the four I choose https://secure.salvationarmy.ca/registrant/TicketingCatalog.aspx?EventID=8310&LangPref=en-CA&Referrer=direct%2fnone, The Salvation Army for the assignment, I used my 100$ wisely buying two set's Mosquito Nets, Mosquito Nets seem useless, well theyre not, Mosquito Nets are acually very useful beccause of the desease Melaria, did you know that every 30 seconds one kid dies from Melaria in a devoloping country, yes that is true. Anyhow, the Mosquito Nets are able to stop Mosquitos, Why mosquito's? Becasue Melaria travles with Mosquitos, so if a Mosquito bites some one in Africa with Melaria the target that was bitten gets Melaria and since Africa doesnt have Medical Attension. They need to have protection from Melaria and other deseases, of corse there are other deseases in Africa.

In other words since I have much more money to spend I will buy Chickens, why Chickens? Because chicken can serve rich meat and eggs for a family, but not just that if say a family needs money and has chickens, but need to keep the chickens they can sell eggs, Chickens are a good source of energy so the kids could bike places for more water, or any other things they might need to do.

And last im going to buy Goats for many reasons because A) They can provide milk for a family, which saves them time and energy from walking to the watering hole everyday, or the well. B) They can provide fresh meat to feed family's. C) they can provide manure to help farm from farms to make vegitables and fruits so they can provide, mango's, tomoato's, and other things!

And that is why I am choosing all of the thing's I did choose!
Mosqiuto Nets - 24$x2
Chicken - 25$ - Flock
Pig's - 60$ - x2 
In total the amount of money I spent was 99$!Since I spent 99dollars and me and my class mates we were able to make 21$ using our spare money and bought https://payment.csfm.com/donations/unwrapped/gift.php?gift_id=15 Oxfam bucket for 20$ and have one dollar extra, maybe buy a gum ball or somthing small yet still helpful and fun.
