Letter: Philippines need our help
Philippines need our help
We are member of the smoke-jumpers team from the fifth-grade at Aspen Middle School in the First Lego League competition. The theme of the competition this year is “Nature’s Fury,” where you have to study a specific natural disaster. But as we were researching our disasters from a very comfortable place, real disasters are going on in the world.
