Women - Poem of Hope and Thoughts of Gods

For International Women's Day on March 8th, we asked the girls why they love being a woman and we asked the boys why they love women. Puja wrote a beautiful poem inspiring women to have hope and Simon shared his thoughts on women as gods.

Enjoy.

POEM OF HOPE FOR WOMEN

 

I am not feeling guilty

To be a woman

Whoever feels guilty

That is very filthy

Never less, neither less

Maximum women always

Watch their weakness

That is shameless

This is their foolishness

That's why they never fly

Even they have wings to

Touch the sky so high

Because of their own thought

About themselves

This is so filthiness

This is so sadness

Nature is crying

That is why I am saying

Raise your voice!!

They will shut your mouth

Again raise your thought

They will salute you but

After converting you're thought into action

That is all about you, even a fraction

Of your thought change into action

Will change many things in the world

Weakness is strengthness

See yourself into that level of deepness

Then you will find sense, knowledge

Had more along with that thought, sense, hope

You will never be dominated

Because dominating people are dominating themselves

This world is full of negative people

so be full of hope, be a woman!!

I LOVE WOMEN

 

I love women because women are those people who are like a god. They are very different from men but their minds are much more active than men's.  They are helpful as well as frank with everyone. They will always be in my eyes as god. One parent does not give the right to eat properly, right to education, as well as the right to shelter. Women always fulfilled these needs for their children. Some people made the women work instead of educating them. If such thing goes on how can wives or a daughter live a happy life? This is such a bad thing. We must respect them as a god.

Do natural disasters have a greater impact on the poor?

This was a question in one of the girl's A level exams. I set the challenge to one of our class 10 students, Sabitri Pathak, to explore her thoughts on this important question. Often schools teach the students these issues in separate topics - "What are natural disasters?" and "What problems and challenges face the poor?" Putting them together and exploring the impact, especially as a comparison, was a great critical thinking challenge! Thanks for accepting my challenge, Sabitri!

THE POOR SUFFER NATURE’S FURY THE MOST

Sabitri Pathak

An unpredictable incident that interrupts the whole ecosystem of a certain territory especially natural scenes and human settlement is called nature's fury or natural calamities. Floods, landslides, earthquakes are major examples of natural calamities. The poor and less facilitated people who don't have adequate goods to fulfil their basic needs such as food, clothes, shelter, health, etc are the major victims of such furies.

The poor often lack required food, jobs, housing, education, health and other major aspects of quality of life. They don't have jobs and rely on limited agriculture which even can't provide them with necessary food. Due to lack of funds, they can't save money and are often compelled to live difficult lives. They suffer from malnutrition and other epidemics due to unhealthy settlements and food habits.

Yes, I agree with above mentioned statement. Wealthier people can recover more easily as they have money, insurance and communications through which they can get support. But the same things are not available for the poor. Because of this they suffer most. If a flood occurs, it may destroy all settlements and vegetation. The poor lose their small piece of land from where they have been earning money. They also can't get foods and clean drinking water. They suffer from diseases like malaria, dysentery but can't get health facilities. They are even deprived of support as they doesn't have link with organisations.

Similarly, if there is an earthquake or drought, the poor have to face more challenges than the wealthy. Earthquakes may damage their houses but they can't reconstruct it. They become homeless. They can't grow crops and earn little money for their livelihood if a drought occurs. It affects their economic status which in turn gives negative impact on other various aspects of living.

The problems associated with disasters arise one after another for the poor, if nature's fury occurs. If the so called poor are given access to employment from where they can earn they don't have to face the burden of calamities effects. Micro-credit programmes and human investment should be launched to minimise poverty to reduce tension of disasters as we can't control the happenings of natural disasters.
