Foreign Aid Application template

Click here to go the the google docs template for the Foreign Aid Application. Once you open it, follow the directions on the top to make a copy of it. If you don't make a copy you will ruin the template!!  When you are done typing your application, share it with me to submit it.

Make sure you use proper grammar and spelling when you fill out the application.  It is also a final draft, so you should read through it before submitting to make sure it sounds good!

Current Events and Critical Thinking





Following the news and understanding global issues take a great deal of critical thinking.  Many times, current issues occurring evoke great emotion in us and create a desire in us to help the situation. But, we must always remember to not take for fact everything we see and hear. We need to think critically about what we see and hear and not let emotions determine our opinions, but rather evidence and fact.
