Why did you go?
Black Rhino where did you go?
Did the hunters drive you away?

Maybe never. Maybe soon.
 Rhino where did you go?
Did they hunt you for your horn? Yes
They ground up the horn for so called "Magic Medicine"
That never worked. Those rhinos died for NO REASON!

Fawn

(Based on a True Story)

By Michele
A fawn is a baby deer.
Her mother is not here.
She got ran over by a car.
She didn't travel very far.
Now the fawn is very sad.
Now she will never be glad.
Now she is sent away.
That is why she is in the hay.

Mascot of the USA
Flying so high
Hear them "Sing" 
As they find their prey
Bringing it back to 
Their baby's
Little squeaks from
Little beaks
Calling for mama
Where did she go?
She is in a cage 
On her way to
The zoo 
Taking a snooze from 
The dart in her wing

Concerns

SPLOSH
Past the fishes
It used to hunt
Past the fishes
It ran from
Past a sunken ship
To the bottom of the ocean
It can't swim
Back up to the surface
It will drown because
Those horrible people took
Their fins
Stop Shark Finning
Because all the shark will
Die.
Their beautiful species
Will go extinct
Because you are
Going to keep
Eating
Shark Fin Soup
Stop eating the shark fin soup
Sharks like them are going to die!

sticky black stuff
sticking to my shoes
Little fishes covered in it
Birds lovely feathers
Covered in black tar
in black tar
Dont Dump your trash in the ocean!

Cough cough
Grey little clouds
floating around
Cough Cough
Smoke stacks growing bigger
Smoke coming out faster
The future getting fogger

Core Values

                                                           RFD (Riders for life)

RFD is a organisation formed by Bubacarr Jallow & his wife. He formed RFD because when he & his wife took a trip to some rural parts of Africa, he some a lot of broken & damaged vehicles lying every where on the ground. They where broken due to bad care of the vehicles.
Another reason Bubacarr made RFD is because he knew that people where dying in the rural parts of Africa A LOT more than in the USA or Singapore.

I think the Core Values in this story is respect and compassion.
I would say compassion because Bubacarr is doing this for these people when he could have just said "Oh this isn't my problem because it isn't my country", but instead he helped these people.
I say respect because he is respecting these people by helping them.
