What we eat and whether we exercise or not, makes a difference in our lives. Surveys show that Maltese people are still confirmed as the most obese nation in the European Union. This could be the result of eating a lot of junk food which is quicker to find than having to prepare genuine home-made food and it works out cheaper. When parents buy technology to keep their children quiet, what they are doing is that they encourage them to sit down and play on these games instead of urging them to exercise. Students argue that they should have more physical education lessons in schools. Tuck shops should offer healthier options and fast food outlets should promote their healthier options, by lowering their prices. Parents must understand that their choices affect their children’s life so it is important to follow this advice: eat healthily and exercise more!

For Global Education Week 2017 with the theme ‘My World Depends on us!’ we wanted to think of an idea out of the box. After a brainstorming exercise we came up with the idea of inviting over to our school three former students of Verdala. These three special young men have something in common. They have passed through difficult health problems but now are using their experiences to help others! Amazing actions by people so young!

In our country maybe more than others water is an invaluable resource and more needs to be done to encourage people to collect water in the most effective way possible. So why do we shoot ourselves in the foot by not maintaining the drainage system already in place? Apart from being an eyesore it defeats the whole purpose of the system.
