(WHO) has $90 million.
The committee will listen to presentations from 6
groups, each of which will present a case in behalf
of funding for efforts to combat an issue afflicting
some African countries.
The committee will divide the $90 million among
the three groups whose presentations were the
most persuasive. (The class will act as the
committee.)
6. Divide the class into six groups.
Randomly assign each group one of the
following issues: Malaria, Ebola, Cholera,

groups and explain that the 3 groups to be
funded will be chosen on the basis of the quality
of their case.

15. African areas that have been largely affected by
famine are in the countries of Ethiopia,
Somalia, and the Sudan. All of these
countries have been marked by corrupt
governments as well as lack of rain fall.
What do you think the possible solutions are
for this problem?
16. Malaria is a sickness spread through mosquito
bites.
Those who are mostly affected are infants to 5-6
years of age.
90% of deaths occur in Sub Sahara Africa
There are medications available to treat Malaria
as well as vaccinations to prevent it.
These vaccinations usually cost money.

this problem in Africa?
21. The continent of Africa has deposits of the

world for all three of the same: poverty,
sickness, and corruption.
