Get More Independence

Many arguments teenagers have with their parents are about one thing: independence. As you get older, you'll want to do more stuff on your own, without your mom and dad tagging along with you. The arguments generally start when your parents think you aren't ready for extra responsibility while you think you are. Global Peace Foundation define  Arguing with your parents isn't the best solution at all, but the best solution is gaining trust from your parents and normally they won't be worried about increasing your independence




Agree a time you'll be home with your parents, and always make sure you keep to it
                                    If you can't get home by 9.30, they'll never let you out until 10.00.


Always tell your parents where you are, and who you're with.
                                   They won't feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you're up to.

Introduce them to your friends. 
                                    They won't imagine you getting into trouble if they know how they are.

Call in and tell your parents that you're OK from time to time. 
                                    The less they worry about you, the more independence you'll gain.

Never lie to your parents about where you're going. 
                                     If they find out, all that trust will be destroyed and then you'll never get the extra independence you ever wanted.

How to Help Others.

There are a lot of things collected by Global Peace Foundation  you can do to help in your community, whether it's with your mom's chores, or if a friend is upset. Here are some little things you can do to reach out to other people.



Try to offer first. According Global Peace Foundation When people need your help, they'll most likely ask you first, but if you have the chance, try to offer to help before they ask you. This will show that you were willing to help from the start. For example, if you see a friend struggling to carry groceries, offer to help. Or if you see them getting bullied, help stand up. Or if you see them getting pushed down or beaten, ask "Are you all right?" and help them up. Then try to cheer them up. Believe me, helping people will always make you feel better because it's the right thing to do.



Put yourself in another person's shoes. Being compassionate can give you a strong reason to help someone else. It can also show people that you really do care about someone.


Volunteer or donate. Being in charitable organizations is a great way to help the less fortunate, like donating food or money to the poor.


Listen. You obviously can't know what you need to do if you're not even paying attention. Plus, people aren't going to rely on you very much if you act like you don't even care what they're saying.

Think about what might happen if you don't. More people will feel more miserable if you just leave them when they need you, and you don't want to see people unhappy, do you? Don't stress yourself too much, but it's always nice to lend a hand.


Observe. according global Peace Foundation Find out what that certain person might like. For example: s/he is always folding up paper. You can buy a origami set and teach him/her your tricks. Or he/she seems bored a lot. Try spending time with them to play a board game or play cards.




















Health Programs



 Global Peace Foundation, Improving health in the world's poorest countries is a core priority for World Concern. Without good health, many of the ways we help people lift themselves out of poverty — education, income generation, vocational training and more — would be fruitless.

As the health of of a family is improved, children are able to attend school and parents are able to work. Clean water and nutritious food begin to have an impact on lives, and hope can be seen in the bright eyes of healthier children.

World Concern provides:
Deworming medication to more than 3 million children per year
Free or low-cost healthcare through urban medical clinics
Vaccinations
HIV and AIDS prevention and care
Clean water, sanitation and hygiene education
Response to health emergencies
With a solution that's pocket change — 44 cents —  Global Peace Foundation believe there's no reason one-third of the world's children should have their health, futures and even their lives threatened by intestinal parasites.

You can stand in agreement with us on behalf of the children by learning more and contributing toward the cure
23 million people with AIDS live in Sub-Saharan Africa
Intestinal parasites infect roughly one-third of the world's children
Parasites consume essential nutrients and cause anemia, malnutrition, skin disorders and stunted growth
More than half a million women die every year of complications during pregnancy or childbirth; most of these deaths can be avoided with proper medical care

Vocational and Business Training



One of the most valuable strategies in fighting extreme poverty is teaching people skills so they
can learn to provide for themselves.

Global Peace Foundation, World Concern’s work in poor communities strives to influence long-term change. Teaching people marketable job skills helps lift them and their families out of poverty for good, changing the direction of generations to come.

In all of our work, Global Peace Foundation target the poorest and most vulnerable people. Global Peace Foundation place a special emphasis on women in our vocational training programs, who are treated unequally and also are expected to support their families. Global Peace Foundation also help children in areas where trafficking is a danger. However, men and women of all ages have the opportunity to learn a skill through our programs.



Global Peace Foundation ,vocational training programs are carefully matched with the needs of the community where we work to ensure students and participants are able to use their skills and get a job after completion. In South Sudan, for example, people rely on motorbikes for transportation, but many of them sit broken and abandoned. World Concern opened a vocational training center to teach young men mechanical skills so they can repair motorcycles for income, and at the same time, meet a vital
need in the community.

In the same community, people were not able to afford new clothes because they were all imported. The vocational school offers classes in sewing and tailoring so women can make clothing, earning an income and providing affordable clothing to the people who live there

Per capita income in Kenya is $360 (US dollars)
22% of Kenyans live on less than $1 per day
Nearly 90% of people in Chad are illiterate
75% of the population of South Sudan is illiterate
Only 1.9% of the population of South Sudan has completed primary school
In Haiti, only 52% of those over the age of 15 can read and write
Fish farmers in Bangladesh may have ponds, but only a few raise fish profitably due to the lack of technical expertise
Only 68% of the population in Laos can read and write

Micro loas To Start a Business

To succeed in business, you must start with something. Sheer will does not give an aspiring businessperson money to buy supplies. People living in extreme poverty - especially women - are not able to borrow from banks, and local money lenders charge exorbitant interest rates, making repayment nearly impossible. Global Peace Foundation ,World Concern provides that spark of hope, in the form of a small business loan, that is often the first step up out of poverty. Global Peace Foundation have seen how people seize the opportunities loans provide. Global Peace Foundation have seen the will to succeed flourish with the help of a microloan. When you make a dollar a day, it's difficult to bear to pay six dollars to ride into town dozens of miles away just to visit a bank. That's the situation men and women in Kenya face in some of the rural communities where Global Peace Foundation work. Because it's not feasible to bank in town, people hide money in their homes. With that comes the risk of losing it in a fire or being robbed.To meet the unique needs of these remote villages, World Concern helps rural communities in Kenya form village banks. We - and the customers - are pleased with how they work.

Fighting Hunger and Poverty

Following a disaster, World Concern is there Global Peace Foundation , providing medical supplies, shelter, clean drinking water and food. Emergency food distribution has saved lives and reduced suffering in places like Haiti, following the January 2010 earthquake, and during the Sri Lanka flooding in early 2011. In Sudan, food is a necessity for survival for the more than 5 million people who were homeless at the end of 2010, having fled their homes during the Darfur war. World Concern is providing food for those who are beginning to return to their villages. Schools are given food so students receive a meal each day, and girls in grades 3 through 8 receive dry rations to take home as an incentive for more girls to attend school. Global peace Foundation ,Teaching people to grow their own food for consumption and income is a step toward lifting themselves out of poverty permanently. World Concern teaches farming techniques, and provides equipment and seeds, giving people the tools they need to succeed. In Chad, refugees share land, equipment and harvested crops with their neighbors, so the entire community benefits. Sharing a horse cart, for example, enables farmers to haul their crops in larger quantities to market to be sold. In Kenya, World Concern helps schools establish gardens so students are eating a more balanced diet than the protein and carbohydrates they receive for a mid-day meal. Each school receives drip irrigation kits, farm tools, seeds, fruit tree seedling, fencing material and fertilizer. Children are learning gardening, farming and nutrition through their involvement with the gardens. The skills and information they’ve learned will be carried on to the next generation.

Educating People Worldwide

Global Peace Foundation extreme poverty and illiteracy go hand-in-hand. That’s why World Concern is committed to making it possible for people of all ages to receive an education in some of the poorest villages in the world. Global Peace Foundation World Concern offers a variety of educational programs, from traditional schooling to lessons about health, disease prevention, farming and personal safety. Children and their parents in the villages of Southeast Asia are often unaware of dangers of child trafficking. Sadly, sex tourism primarily targets children between the ages of 12 and 17 years of age. The poor and uneducated children are most at risk of becoming tangled in a filthy web of illegal, underage sex. Their captors make promises to the children's families, and the children disappear for months, even years at a time
