Discovering Aotearoa

As you know I'm full Tongan and currently live in Auckland New Zealand. My parents both grew up in Tonga. My mum in Nuku'alofa and my dad in Ha'apai. They many stories about their childhood and some are traumatising and it still is to this day.

Growing up I had things that I wanted and received them but now I don't seem to always get everything I wished for. I learnt many things growing up like to be patience and enjoy life as it is. Still I'm continuing to learn more things in my life and will remember my happy and mostly sad memories. 

Setting Sail

Summer Learning Journey
Week 1 
Day 1- Explorers
Activity 1- Setting Sail

1. A pack of water bottles because sometime in the day, it can get hot and sweaty. Overall water helps you have a healthy mindset and is helpful when you don't have energy.
2. Chocolate is another good food to help release your difficulties and pain.
3. Ice cream sandwiches because they're tasty and just make you happy while eating it.
4. If I'm not in the mood for water, I'll just drink fizzy since water doesn't really make me satisfied with the taste.
5. I'll take Hawaiian sweet rolls and eat it with my favourite fruits like pineapple, grapes, oranges and such other.
6.  If I'm really not in the best mood during the day and I feel like disappearing, I'll just take out my container full of strawberries dipped in chocolate.
7. I'd gladly bring with me pringles with sauce because everyone loves pringles some day in their life.
8. Cookies and biscuits is another way to help stress the pain out. Mostly I love my cookies and biscuits softened and melted but either way they're still delicious.
9. I'd bring ding dong chips if I really am feeling spicy and marvellous.
10. Lastly I'd bring rice with sugar in it because rice always fills me up and makes me feel happy and joyful inside.

Day 3- Environment & Exploration
Activity 1- The Rainman of Rajasthan

On your blog, share what you have learned about The Water Project with us. What is the goal of the organisation? Where do they work? What have they achieved?

From The Water Project there are three hundred billion citizens in India, Africa, Rajasthan, Sub-Saharan etc who are suffering/struggling from drinking clean clear water. By producing water, when it rains it falls into a bucket which then collects it. The issue with having dirty contaminated water is that it distraught you from doing your living conditions. 

In the video there is a cycle which explains the cycle of having dirty water. The cycle mentions that dirty water can end up with you having diseases, being sick then sadly passing away. We should participate and help in The Water Project to make sure communities are healthy and clean.
