    l.raven: first of all...you aren't even close to perfection when it comes to spelling...or writing sentences correctly...remember ...glass houses...

    and when it comes down to it...children's wellbeing in New Zealand was given an F...their education and health...I would say that goes back to the teachers...somewhere along the way...the teachers level of education in New Zealand is lacking when it comes to teaching these children...young adults...

    so stop criticizing others...and take care of
    the problems in your own country...your education rating suck...

    New Zealand also ranked 33rd of 38 for educational inequality across preschool, primary school and secondary school levels in UNICEF?

    UNICEF New Zealand is calling for significant investment and policy change to address deeply embedded and terrifying childhood trends around obesity, suicide, as well as declining proficiency in reading and maths,

    Out of 41 EU and OECD countries, New Zealand ranks 35th in child wellbeing Meanwhile only 64.6% of 15 year olds in New Zealand have basic proficiency in reading and maths.

    UNICEF New Zealand Executive Director Vivien Maidaborn said these poor grades showed New Zealand was failing its children.
    The Report Card gives New Zealand an F for failure when it comes to wellbeing outcomes for children," she said. New Zealand?s youth suicide rate is the second worst in the developed world at 14.9 deaths per 100,000 adolescents.

    ?New Zealand?s high suicide rate is influenced by a constellation of other factors, such as colonisation, the bias of teachers in schools which exclude children, socio-economic background, poverty, cultural influences and inequality," says Ms Maidaborn.

    Ms Maidaborn also highlighted New Zealand?s long standing commitments to both UNDRIP (a declaration with a particular focus on the survival, dignity and wellbeing of indigenous peoples) and UNCROC (a convention aimed at protecting the rights of children). ?Right now, New Zealand is failing in both commitments," -

    Dear sweet Linda,

    I am sitting in the airport waiting on my flight to Ukrain for Doctors Without Borders reading a journal that dad wrote in as he travelled all around the country and I found something that I would like to share with you

    " On FS I have met a wonderful caring friend in Christ, I feel we will become good friends as time goes by. The lord led me through this poem from chatting with her. I feel it not appropriate at this time to give it to her, maybe one day perhaps " those are his exact words and I feel the time is right to share with you what he wrote. I hope that you find it just as beautiful as I did.

    Moonlight ballet

    Touching the spark
    of a burning flame
    she would feel
    No pain
    in a world of
    complete havoc
    around her
    in the darkness
    she would unravel
    And scream into
    nothingness
    numb she once
    was
    sleepless she
    has been

    After midnight
    when our
    worlds would
    become two
    and the clouds
    were still
    she would dance
    Adagio in the
    cool frost of the
    moonlight
    with a pale
    expressionist frown
    of the pale
    dim light

    In the darkness
    she unraveled
    her soft gracious
    ballet dance
    screaming into
    nothingness
    nobody heard
    her or saw the
    gracious nighttime
    performance

    Her silo wet
    reached among
    The bare damp
    ground
    her tears fell
    into a small
    pool that
    sparkles under
    the starlight

    Her pale expressionist
    face with no
    audio tone
    from pink faded
    lips

    numb she was
    sleepless she
    has been
    her days awake
    spent in the dew
    of darkness
    tapped in two
    worlds that awoke
    after midnight
    dancing Adagio
    trying to find
    her way

    As the night
    became day
    she would
    slowly fade
    away
    as a deafening
    scream echoed
    into the empty
    air

    But no one heard
    her
    No one saw
    her sublime
    performance
    numb she had
    become
    with her
    pool of tears
    sparkling in
    the after
    life
    In one single
    red loving
    rose
    screaming where
    she danced from
    The depths
    of her
    soul

    August

    I do hope that you don?t mind me sharing what I found in his journal
    Take care sweetie
    Blessings
    Love
    Amber -
