Hello 6J

My name is Chloe and I would like to persuade you to support the ‘Books for foreign countries’ charity with the money that we hope to raise. There are many reasons for my choice and I am going to tell you about them today.

Surely you agree that every child deserves an education? Isn’t this a fundamental human right? I think it is. Yet in some countries, children aren’t as lucky as us. Recently, I have been writing to a young girl in Bali, Indonesia. In 2002, a tsunami struck Bali millions of people died, thousands were injured, few survived. Bali is a poor country and finding the money to rebuild lives wasn’t easy. Most schools were swept away
