What's Right With This Picture

By examining photographs, this activity helps students use their critical thinking skills to identify the positive aspects and strengths of communities in Vietnam, Ghana, Zimbabwe and the Caribbean. This process encourages our students to look beyond the often portrayed negative images about developing countries. Students then build on those strengths and identify opportunities that have the potential to improve the lives of the people in the community. In Part 2 of this lesson, students reflect on their own strengths as a class and as individuals. Students then generate ideas of how they could use those strengths to improve the lives of people in their school.

The real game of survivor

Beyond disaster relief

“Something that my classmates and I agreed was interesting was that CHF doesn’t just throw money or supplies at people in need, you also teach them how to become self-sufficient and not only that, but you give them a sense of pride and worth. Every single person on this planet, rich or poor, deserves that….Thank you for reminding all of us of that.”
