Buddy Day!

In Room 29, we are raising awareness of child abuse. So what we did was everyone in my class got into groups of 3 or 4 and each group became the creators of a buddy. Each group had to design a buddy, give it a name, give it a story and basically treat like a real kiwi kid. I'm in a group with my friend, Sian. We have created a buddy called April Maui. April is from Hawaii and loves to hula. After we have created our buddy's we put our design on a small 3D person shaped template about 1 metre tall. After that we have to update in our buddy's diary what they did and how they feel. After all that our buddies get taken away and get given to carers. The carers then have to take the buddies where ever they go to coffee club to a work meeting, where ever. To raise the awareness these buddy will be popping up all around New Zealand and then people will start to ask question and the awareness will be getting raised. Please support buddy day as it goes to such a great cause. Together we can make a change. Just like Michael Jackson said in Man in the Mirror. GO BUDDY DAY!!
