What's going on in the world

It upsets me a little bit that I have to look at a foreign newspaper to find out what's really going on, but I'm thankful that I have access to websites such as the BBC News.

In case you didn't know, here are a few things going on around the rest of the world:

*An India school burned, killing over 900 children.

*Italians protest as Italy forces the return home of African immigrants who arrived by German ship.

*More reports of abuse to Malaysian maids.

*Floods in China kill near 400 people.

*El Salvador still affected from civil war between US soldiers and Salvadoran guerillas. This is a feature on children separated from their families during the time.

*Sudan vows to return refugees from camps to their torn villages in Darfur. But none think it will be safe.

After you read up on what's going in the U.S., you should check out BBC News and educate yourself about the rest of the world, where people just like us suffer a whole lot more - and it will make you feel even more fortunate to live in the country that you do... and hopefully it will make you want to help these people, or at least feel a little compassion towards them.
