Raising Awareness !

Well we're doing another Geography project :D
This time we're are raising awareness about certain diseases you can get when on holiday. We have to make brochure telling you all about the disease, how you can prevent it, what symptoms you may get and how to treat the disease.
I chose leprosy as I find it very interesting, also there is a very large stigma towards people who have leprosy. They are isolated from the rest of their community and people do not associate with them.
When I did my research I found out that it is wasn't actually proven to be the case.
This is why I want to raise awareness about Leprosy to get rid of all the false beliefs about this disease!

A trip to Kildare town :D

Well today is St. Brigid's day and the first day of Spring :D

St. Brigid is the second most known Saint. in Ireland, the first being St. Patrick.
My class and I are decorating the meditating room. It is meant to represent St. Brigid and all she did during her life. While doing all this about St. Brigid, I have actually learnt a lot about what she did for Ireland and the beginning of Christianity in Ireland
We are also going to visit Kildare town. To visit the Holy well, which is highly associated with St. Brigid!
It's also the first day of spring which usually means it should get warmer. But it actually was the coldest this morning than it has been in a long time! Just our luck.
