Student’s reactions What did I get out of this project? I learned much about the poverty and life in Africa how some humanitarian organisations such as UNICEF and UN help those poor people. From now on I will try not to waste the food . and water because I know the value of bread. and clean water for the people living in Africa. I am very thankful to my parents that I have everything that I need and I don’t live in such poverty as people in Africa. I liked this teleproject very much. I am glad that we participated in it. I appreciate the cooperation of my colleagues and I hope that I will work with them on other interestinprojects. Miroslav This teleproject gave me a lot. My first reactions weren’t very positive because I couldn’t work with a computer very well. However, it has changed after finishing the project . I had to browse various web sites, surf on the internet, make the presentation in MS PowerPoint. So not even I learned how to use the PC but I enriched my knowledge with some interesting things that I hadn’t known before. I realized that in comparison with other countries our country isn’t as poor as some people say. I learned about some diseases that can’t be found in our country. I had to read more which isn’t my strong point. However, what could I do. The project is project. I am glad that our task was to work on such topic because it is relevant. Regina
