This afternoon, I have been touched by Alice! I was tweeting and suddenly I read something about Alice's Bucket List blog! 

Alice is this beautiful and brave english sweet young girl, 15 years old who is fighting against a cancer for almost 4 years, but who is keeping her smile and good vibrations on a blog: Alice's Bucket List

She started the blog on Monday June 6 and her 1st post Hello :) is so touching! 

I found the link on The Guardian and I went to Alice's blog. I just can't stop on thinking about Alice. 

Alice' wrotes today on her post: It's manic...

"Now for my mega exciting news :))

I'm off to see Take That this weekend, can you believe it?  I am so excited and really can't wait, I just hope that I don't get ill or something daft. I've lived in PJs for about a year so mum is going to town to buy some things to bring back for me to try.  She'll bring loads but I'll no doubt end up wearing leggings and a shirt :)

(...)

We've had lots of people helping us to sort through all of the email and everyone who has emailed will hopefully get a reply from us.  I had lots of lovely people offer to help me get an iPad but close family friends have ordered one for me now, so I'll soon be blogging from that. I'll get my mum to post a picture of me on it :)  It also looks like the other things I wished to do are being organised so thank you to everyone for that.  I feel a very lucky girl."

"I feel a very lucky girl..." she wrote! Alice is not in Wonderland. She is Alice x but she writes like she is in an wonderful world.

She's smart, brave, kind, have a sweet sense of humour. She doesn't ask for help. 

The only thing she asked is to fulfil her "buckest list' of things she wants to do before she dies. She only 15!

Of course she will see "Take That" in concert and she will have lots of fun with her sister and parents.

So, please visit Alice's Buckest List blog and make some suggestions to her buckest list (on the top).

And spread the word to your students! They have the same age. And Alice might love reading cheerful messages from young people for all over the world.


The best way to give support to Alice is to help her trend on Twitter #alicebucketlist, like her Facebook page and, most important of all, sign up to be bone marrow donor.

Thousands of touching comments are already published on Alice's blog. 

An anonymous poster from USA wrote: 

"What a wonderful, wonderful blog! I absolutely love it and cannot wait to read about all of your adventures. You are such an inspiration!"

Alice is an inspiration! And I cannot wait to read about all of Alice's adventures. I wish that all her dreams come true! And I deeply hope she will win cancer!

And here there are "Take That" for Alice! 

One of Alice's buckest list is: "To meet Take That". Oh! I'm sure she will meet Take That. And who knows? Take That will sing for Alice!

Race Against Hunger 2011

"The Race Against Hunger is a service learning campaign that unites different cities from all over the world in the fight against global hunger and malnutrition. 

Tapping into the great potential of youth to become powerful agents of change, the Race aims to educate young too about the causes of global and domestic hunger and inspire them to be a part of the solution."

"End Hunger: Walk the World" is an annual event to raise money and awareness for WFP’s efforts to fight child hunger and malnutrition."

Education:

During the next week, educators can still  involve subject-based learning activities to educate students about the issues around global hunger. Foster a sense of community and global citizenship among students.

Some activities might be designed to meet curricula requirements so that educators can easily implement them in the classroom.

• Enrich your curriculum by incorporating global issues into classroom activities: slogans, flyers, pins, lyrics writen by students based on music songs they love to hear.
• Join the fight against hunger by spreading awareness in your school and community (parents, familiars, friends)
• Help children around the world who suffer from hunger and malnutrition.

After the educational component, students will have the opportunity to become actively involved in the fight against hunger by participating in a “fun-run” event.

The Race can take place on school grounds (primary school), in a local park (elementary and secondary schools), depending on what works best for your school. 
The program designed might be tailored to fit the needs of each school.

In Portugal, the "Race Against Hunger" will take place in Lisbon and Porto, tomorrow, May 22, 2011, at 10:00 (Portuguese time).

Ferrer Correia School (Portugal)

Portuguese educators had the opportunity to involve the Portuguese students in different activities. And a lot of schools organized fun-runs against hunger.

In other cities of the world the "Race Against Hunger" have different days. So, go on the site End Hunger World Race to join a Walk in your neighborhood or to create a Walk.

Kids and educators might join familiar, friends to participate in the great race after the "fun-run" in the school or the park.


Join Walk the World on Facebook or on Twitter with hashtag @Walk_the_World.
