It wasn’t really a big issue as far as us being prepared because the students from the other school actually take a class that deals with human rights and migration.
Our school went to the UN day to learn other information the migration and the other 5 topics. When we broke up into our small group discussions I was in the group concerning children’s rights. I thought my group was interesting and I learn a lot about children’s rights. There was a girl named Jenifer in my group and she went to Delaware Valley Friends. I not sure what grade she was in but she knew a lot about children’s rights. My Facilitator named was Sara Kitchen and she told us that she started to want to be involved in children’s rights when she was a teenager and she worked as a waitress at a dinner in Massachusetts she overheard two guards that worked at a school a mile away from her home would talk about how they would torture the young men that went to the school. That situation made her want to go into the fields of children’s rights so she studied law and decided after a while to go from law to the classroom and now she is a professor at Chestnut Hill College.
Some of the things I learned The Convention on the Rights of the child is part of education and core curriculums around the world, parents leave their homes to migrate and sometime they take their children with them or they leave them with family members Children migrate to the U.S. so that they can get a better education to receive better jobs some become citizens of the United States others go back to their country, if a child were migrating to come to a Quaker school they could do community service to receive a green card or they can go back to their country, also if they are in a quarter school they would learn the religion if they are a Quaker, and they can easily be abused. This was a good opportunity because I learned a lot about children’s rights and that’s something I wouldn’t mind studying in the future I can’t wait to learn more when everybody come on Dec.1.

2. What is your interest in learning about human rights/migration?
My intrest is to learn about children's right and migration because i think it is importatnt for all people and children to be free from anything that may harm them and anyone should have the right to choose where they want to live.
3.What do you already know about human rights/migration?
i know some of the human rights and i know that when you migrate you have to get a green card and when it expires you can either go back to your country or get your green card renewed.
4. What did you learn at the conference?
At the conference i learned about children's rights and that The Convention on the Rights of the child is part of education and core curriculums around the world,parents leave their homes to migrate and sometime they take their children with them or they leave them with family members,
children migrate to the U.S. so that they can get a better education to receive better jobs some become citizens of the United States others go back to their country,If a child were migrating to come to a Quaker school they could do community service to receive a green card or they can go back to their country,also if they are in a quarter school they would learn the religion if they are a Quaker,and they can easily be abused.

The aspects i am intrested in learning in are children's right/youth.

So that they are occupied with something else other than drugs and hanging on the corner half the night. We also could have more police out at night on the corners getting the children in the house safe so that the violence doesn't increase.
How can we bring about change?
We can bring about change by getting unlisenced guns off the streets, making sure children under 18 aren't outside half the night, and more security around the neighborhoods and schools areas.
How does it affect our identity?
It affects our identity by how we abuse it. We abuse it by using unlisenced guns to kill each other and young children are out here working on corners and using violence such as guns and fighting. I think if we didn't abuse the issuse that there are unlisenced guns out there that people could get to use that we would be safer because if its a lisenced gun they should use it for self defense not to kill people. We would be more safer if we would stop the violence and increase the peace ]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 10:14:00 EDT http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/50873 39.9522222 -75.164166739.9522222-75.1641667 http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/45321 Wed, 04 Oct 2006 15:53:00 EDT http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/45321 39.9522222 -75.164166739.9522222-75.1641667 http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/43591 2. The difference between my community and the community i looked at was that my community has a sesonal change it does not always stay warm and dry like Oxaca. Also Oaxaca, Mexico is located in the southeast and my community is located in the northeast of the United States.
3.The similarities my community has with the community i looked at is that we both depened on a lot of tourism. Also We both have flags to represent our countries.
4. The most intresting thing i looked at while exploring the community of Oaxaca as ow there were some many different Ethnic groups. It was interesting becsause in my community we are all one whole we have different religions but not different gruops. We come together as a whole to discuss an issue or to make a statement. In Oaxaca they come together in their ethnic groups to come up with discussions and descions. ]]> Mon, 18 Sep 2006 20:03:00 EDT http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/43591 39.9522222 -75.164166739.9522222-75.1641667 http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/40497 Sat, 08 Jul 2006 11:30:00 EDT http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/40497 39.9522222 -75.164166739.9522222-75.1641667 http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/39693 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 12:54:00 EDT http://SOF-JasmineW.tigblog.org/post/39693 39.9522222 -75.164166739.9522222-75.1641667
