Hi guys! How are you? We hope the situation with the swine flu got better. We were seriously shocked when we heard about the incidents in your country. Also in Switzerland swine flu is a present problem but it’s never comparable with your state of affairs. Hopefully you will soon be able to go to school again and continue working on our project. The answers you already gave us were very interesting and informative. They were great material to discuss in class. We are looking forward to your following answers and hope they will be as absorbing as the ones we’ve already received. We wish you all the best! Isabel G. & Dominic (for class G2g, Kanti Baden)

• We get less snow, but nobody does anything against it. • We are angry about the USA and China, because they don‘t do anything against the climate change. • We are angry about the people who don’t want to accept the climate change and don’t do anything against it. • I’m angry when I think about the people who don’t care of their children’s future. These people think that they are already dead when the climate change is extreme and that the world disappears and so they don’t worry about that. • Nobody seems to be willing to start improving the situation. • We feel responsible for our planet. It’s our responsibility to care for this world so that the next 100 generations can live here too. • Many people think that changes of their habits won‘t change anything, because they seem to be the only ones that do so. • I think everyone should feel responsible for the climate change and not just say: "Why should I care about the people in other countries?" • We have to take responsibility about the consequences of the climate change. • If we don’t do anything, there will be no improvement. • We hope that we can do something, we hope that we don’t destroy this planet, we hope that all countries realize how bad the situation is and what we have to do about it. But if every person changes some habits, it will have a significant influence on the climate change, which then raises hope for other people. • We hope that we can stop the climate change, but we know that hope isn’t enough and we should do something. • We hope that everybody will contribute to stop climate change. And that everybody will start to think about the consequences. • We don’t like the people who don’t care about the climate change. • Some people don’t care about the climate change, because they think that this topic is used by the mass media for scaring the people. • We should forget the differences between the nations and really try to preserve our climate. • There exists indifference because nobody does something. And nobody is aware about the consequences. We feel responsibility, we feel consternation (girls) and indifference (boys). We feel helplessness because we don’t know what to do and we can’t change anything on our own. The emotion of “I have to do something” or fear of the uncertainty about what will happen in the future appears. Responsibility, even if we don’t do much to improve the situation. We think everybody should take responsibility now.

San Felipe School has been declared in quarantine due to the AH1N1 flu epidemia. Yes, some of our school friends traveled abroad and might have brought the virus here. So by now we reamin at home. We'll try to post some things thought. Right now situation is our country, Peru, is quite turbulent. There have been several political actions that have come now into a huge conflict with native communities from our jungle. You'll see, there are some laws that were planned to be... Protests by indigenous communities over oil drilling and mining in the Peruvian Amazon region turned violent Friday, leaving at least 13 people dead in clashes with police and subsequent rioting. According to local officials, nine police and four Indians were killed in an early-morning confrontation on a road between Jaen and Bagua in northeast Peru and the protests that followed. The Bagua public defender's office said another 45 people were wounded. Violence continued throughout much of the day. Rioters sacked city offices, the local headquarters of President Alan Garcia's political party and 50 stores. Some reports said the death toll was even higher. One said protesters were holding 38 police hostage and threatening to kill them unless police withdrew. The Health Ministry said it was sending emergency teams of doctors and paramedics to the area, raising fears that the casualty tolls were far higher than officially reported. Tensions between the indigenous communities and the government have been boiling since early April, when tribal members began protesting Garcia's granting of mineral development rights to foreign companies. Half a dozen indigenous communities claim the jungle as their ancestral lands. The picture shows Alberto Pizango, leader of native jungle communities. He attends a news conference in Lima, Friday, June 5, 2009. Indians opposed to oil and gas exploration on their lands battled police in Peru's remote Amazon on Friday, with authorities reporting eight police officers killed and protest leaders claiming 22 Indian deaths. profile/diary/class/colegio-cooperativo-san-felipe/profile/our-diary/diary/select_class/33/hotstuff/you\ll-never-believe-us-but//16/
