Mercy Corps Visit - TY

Merci Corps
By Tate Yu
One day after Join we are now going to Mercy Corps. Many of our parents are going with us including my Mom. We are short cars so one of us are in a trunk and another is ducking down between two seats. We are going to get to Portland by the Max station so that we may have a new experience. It takes a while but, we eventually get there. They have us first go in to a room with a lot of smiling children. It also has a big projector and the chairs are hollow so that we may put our bags in. Our guides name is Kendra. We watch part of a video explaining the cruel conditions with statistics that I don't quite agree with. They said that 90% of the world our in poverty. I don't think all of China is in poverty. She was suppose to teach us why the world is in poverty and what we can do to prevent it. She twisted many words though. Also many students looked over to me when she said "Global Warming" as they were expecting me to go vigilante.
