Hello everybody! I am posting this here incase you don't see it on my home page. Today I watched a really moving movie called Catch a Fire! It ties in well with our topic of orphaned children. It gives heaps of challenges and even possible solutions. I rrecommend you watch it, you will not regret it! It does have viloence in it. It is about the segregation in South Africa in the 80's! It is based around the partate. Alot of orphans came from this mark in history and you must watch it o get a broader understanding of what an orphan is! Nicole
