Current Events- What We Learned

      Over the past couple of days, we all agree that the importance of keeping up with current events is that we can be involved in the world if we know what is happening in the world. The way we can get involved is by praying, by donating money, and any other ways available. We can partner with other countries around the world, and each country wont be isolated, they can contribute to big things. If we know whats going on in  other countries, like an epidemic, we can prepare for it in our own country, and for example, we can send field medics to research about the disease. More than anything, helping others in need is very important, and if you know whats going on in the world, you can donate to organizations that help said people.

Remains of Egyptian Army

In 2014 an Egyptian Army from the 14^th century, was found at the bottom of the Gulf of Suez, in The Red Sea. The Scientists leaded by Professor Abdel Muhammad Gader estimated that there were about 5000 bodies dispersed through the area.

Professor Gader and his team concluded that the bodies are from the Bible story, Exodus. Some clues that led to this conclusion are that the soldiers seemed to have died in dry land because there weren’t remains of boats. Another clue is how the bodies were found, they were stuck in clay, which tells us they could’ve died for mudslide or tidal wave.

Millionaires against Ebola - Gadget Team

        There were over 4,900 cases rising in West Africa. Pau Allen (Billionaire) made a significant dent to their request by announcing that his foundation would pledge $100 USD million towards the fighting Ebola. When Mr,Allen was making an announcement, he said "Ebola virus is unlike any health crisis we have ever experienced and needs a response unlike anything we have ever seen." He went on saying that they could actually prevent Ebola from becoming a global epidemic.

         Mr.Allen wasn't the only person donating to defeat Ebola virus. September 10th of 2014 the Microsoft company and Bill Gate donated. Bill Gate donated around $50 USD millions. The founder of the social page of Facebook also donated to this cause, Mark Zuckerberg, added $25 USD million to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foundation. The millions of dollars that were donated were used to buy pencil equipment and train personnel. Millionaires were not the only ones trying to defeat this, but also the Health Organization were working with scientist to come up with an efficient vaccine. The efficient vaccine was prepared to come out in the 2015. Ebola was prepared to be a distant memory.

      Mr.Allen’s foundation has donated $26 million to the Red Cross to train doctors to fight out Ebola. To help provide medical supplies Mr.Allen’s foundation donated $7.5 million to the University of Massachusetts to train personnel. It was hard in Africa to prevent Ebola because there was only 50 doctors in the whole country. Mr.Allen hopes to make medical services more stable in Africa. Also Mr.Allen has hired journalists to report the news about Ebola accurately and he donated so that the US can evacuate Ebola patients safely.
