Our World Irish Aid Awards

In fifth and Sixth class we are learning  about  global goals. We have 17 global  goals some of them are no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well being, good education  and gender equality. In 2015  leaders of 193 countries including  Ireland  came together  at a big  meeting in the United States to look at the most serious problems.
They fight the most serious problems facing the world today. They spoke about what has been achieved by other countries working together since the year 2000 to fight poverty and hunger in other countries. Hunger is a big problem in countries all over the world.
We are putting projects  together to teach our school all about the developing world.
