Housing SHOULD be a human right!

During my first Humanities class, during freshman year. We learned about the sustainable development goals set by the united nations. We focused on goal one, no poverty. Goal two, zero hunger. Goal three, quality education. We took a trip to the Lincoln Park Community Shelter to learn about the effects of the limited resources in our neighborhood. We then cooked them lunch to show gratitude and thanks for allowing us to enter into the community that they have formed. My end unit project is focusing on ending extreme poverty and whether adequate shelter, health care, and free primary and secondary school should be a human right.

The average person in the USA uses 152 gallons a day. That is 575 liters and is equal to 1267.68 pounds. The average person in the UK uses 150 liters a day. That is about 40 gallons and is equal to 333.6 pounds. Many people think that the UK has a lot of different places and a lot of different people. But after studying the water usage of people all ove

I love Pitbulls! When I was born, I was welcomed home by the warmth of two Pitbull mixes. They ended up becoming my best friends from day one. After 10 years, and 5 new human additions to my family. We continue to have Pitbulls that will protect and cuddle with my family till the end of time.   Mallory Bertand and Photography, Ddog09.  Lilac tricolor American bully.  (2015) Web: Wikipedia CH.
