Vow of Silence

This blog entry should have gone in a bit earlier but here we go. I really wasn't sure it was possible but basically Division One and many other students at Trudeau were silent for one afternoon.
I am using the words of Sanman first and then Jane to tell you about this event.
On November 19th, 2010, was the Vow of Silence. We did the vow of silence to speak up for the kids that are living in poverty. They do not speak up because when they do they may be threatened or beaten.
In my opinion, it was kind of difficult because it was hard to communicate with others including Ms. Forsyte(in gym) and Ms. Kezar. I was thinking about all the kids that can not speak out for their rights. Anyways, I think the day went successfully because it was a very quiet day, it was even quiet, in PE, surprisingly.

Today we did the Vow of Silence because we were staying silent for those around the world who can not speak up for themselves. If they do, they 'll get punished or even killed. Now, people may say it wasn't hard, but it is. i think that if someone said it was easy they're lying because it's hard to communicate when you're doing a group project.
For me, it was between easy and hard. Sometimes it was tard to tell someone something and for someone to tell you something. While I was doing this I was wondering if this would change the lives of others.
I think it was a success because the people with masks didn't speak at all. That made the people without a mask take a Vow of Silence too.

It should be noted that the masks priced at $2 sold out. We had a nice celebration at the end of our silent afternoon. For additional information visit this link.
