That’s Not Fair! Presented by: Mrs. Rex
Do you ever think that life isn’t fair? • Brainstorm: What is unfair for students your age?
Food for thought... Some children dream of your life.
Perspective • It’s okay to be angry. • It’s okay to wish things were different. • Bad things happen to everyone. Life isn’t always fair. That’s why we need each other.
It’s Unfair: Schools • Some children do not have a school. Others have schools without heat, running water, or books. • Instead of going to school, some children must work to help provide for their families.

It’s Unfair: Natural Disasters • Tornados, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes... • Communities have to find a way to rebuild after a natural disaster. • Some students lose their schools, homes, friends, families, pets, and all of their possessions.
It’s Unfair: Illness • Children all around the world have life-threatening illnesses. • Mrs. Rex volunteers at Camp Quality Ohio, a summer camp for children with cancer. She sees children who: • Feel tired most of the time • Take medication up to 3 times a day • Had surgeries to remove tumors • Always or never feel hungry • Have lost their hair • And more... Balloon launch to remember those who died.

It’s Unfair: Hunger • Children around the world struggle with hunger. • Think about a time you were hungry. Imagine that feeling would not go away... When you are starving, every day is a battle.
It’s Unfair: Clean Water and Sanitation • Over 1 billion people do not have easy access to clean water. • Over 2.5 billion people do not have basic sanitation. When you don’t have clean water or a way to prevent the spread of germs, many people will get sick.
