Following is my 15 years old brother's reply to the 4 questions for the KIDS-91 project. Except for a few minor spelling corrections, the message is delivered "as is". Bye... Shahar. -x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x- 1) Who am I ? My name is Nachshon Steiff. I live in Kibbutz Ramat Yochanan in Israel. I am 15 years old and go to the 9th grade at school. I have 2 brothers and one maried sister (I am an uncle as well). I also had a brother who was killed in an accident in the army. All my brothers are older than me. My parrents do not live together - I live with my father, but my mother lives in the kibbutz as well. I also have a little dog, her name is "Kfitz", The hebrew word for a spring that always jumps - just like my dog. I play Water-Polo, I am the goal keeper - and I like it. I also like to listen to music (the Beatles). 2) What do I want to do when I grow up ? I am not sure what I want to be when I'll grow up, maybe a writer, maybe not. 3) How do I want the world to be when I grow up ? I want the world to be nicer. I want no air polution, and no more wars. I want peace, and that all people would have food and a place to live in. I want the world to be the best it can be - so we would live without problems and worries. 4) What can I do to make it all happen ? I think that only the people who rule the countries can do something to achieve peace - so I can't do nothing except protest about it. But I can keep the world clean if I won't destroy the nature. And if every body will give a little help it could be very good - but there must be a person who should do the first step.

It was sent in by modem thanks to our friend Maria Cecilia Marini (unfortunately, she's 16 and thus too old to participate in KIDS-91, but she has gracefully seized the challenge that we have for older young people! Direct others at her age to me for advice about how they can help. - Odd) Dear Odd!!I am very happy to participate in this international program and that this is one of my first contacts whit my family in Norway, which I hope to meet some day personally! Happy new year! Best regards Irene Landmark Buenos Aires, 13.1.91 1) Hi! My name is Irene and I'm 15 years old. I study violin and enjoy very much going to concerts. I like classic music, also rock. I love animals and I hate does who kill them for pleasure or sport. I love nature and I am very interested to protect and preserve it. I like to read, to dance and to draw. I also think that we are not alone in this universe... 2) I don't have it completely defined yet, but I like music very much. Another thing I would to do when I grow up, is some how to try to help poor people and to protect our planet!. This world is really beautifull and it would be horrible if we destroy it! 3) I hope that there will be no drug consumption, which do so much damage to people. That solution or alternatives will be found to the ecological problem. That there will be no animals species extinction. That no nuclear waste will be dumped into the water or other places. That there will be less poverty. That there will be new a more work opportunities (related with the nature, for example). That there will be no wars, which are really stupid and cost so many lifes. 4) These problems may be solved through information, consciousness and the aplication of the most important principle of the universe, which I discovered reading a book (AMI, the kids of the stars). I think I knew it already and even try to apply it, but I wasn't conscious about it. This principle, which should govern all living creatures is: LOVE. I think that all our activities should be made with LOVE. Persons who proceed with badness and damage people around them, sooner or later destroy themself. Persons who proceed with love devellop a rich and strong interior and influence people positively. Therefor I'll try to apply this principle in my life! At the same time I can contribute with some positive actions: . Not to dump waste neither in water or in other places. 8 . Not to kill animals, except for necessary food. . Try not to use aerosols, which damage the ozone layer. . Take care of water, which is a precious and even scarce resource. . And finally support and participate in organizations which protect the environment. - - - - - 34:26) Jonn Ord 19-JAN-91 17:51 Date: Wed, 16 Jan 91 12:56 GMT From: MIKE BURLEIGH Subject: contributions to KIDS-91 from London From Cedar class at Oldfield House school, near the river Thames outside London England. Dear Mr Presno we would like you to send our letters to other children around the world. We would like other kids to reply and tell us about themselves especially if their lives are different from ours. ==================== 1) My name is Sam Dyerson my age is 9, I am a boy and my hobbies are football, swimming and cricket. I am a goalkeeper and me and my friend James are the best footballers in the school. I like football very much and I come in with mud all over me but my mum does not mind when I get very dirty. 2) I would like to be a professional goal keeper because I will get lot's of money and I will give it to my family when they are old and I am rich. 3) I do not want there to be a war I want the war to go away. and I would like Sadam Hussein to agree on there not to be a war. 4) I would very much like the wood cutters to stop cutting trees down and stop building factories which pollute the environment. ================================================== 1) My name is Carlton my age is 10 and I like football, tennis and basketball. I play at my friend's house because he has a basketball net on his wall. My favourite lesson at school is technology and I like making working models. My other hobby is collecting insects. I like school very much. 2)I want to be a business man when I grow up and work in a big building. ================================================== 1) Hi my name is Lee Wiltshire I am a boy and i am 10 years old. My best lesson at school is when we make videos and have discussions. At home I like playing on my bike and going swimming. I have a friend called Kya. If there is any trouble it is always me and Kya. I get into trouble because I open my mouth and say the wrong things. My mum is kind she always lets me play with Kya. I always seem to make the wrong decisions I have a bad temper and I have to go away by myself and cool down before I hit someone. 2) My sister wants to be a policewoman. In my spare time I wash cars to get some extra pocket money. I like counting my money when I get it. I want to be a shopkeeper when I grow up so I can count money. 3) In the future I hope that the world will be made a better place because we stop cutting down the trees and pick up our litter and re-use paper, glass and cans and things to help the environment. I hope the cars in the future will not choke us. I reckon we hould make a peace plan and every Prime Minister in every country should joinup and sign a peace contract, this would make the world a better place. 4) I will argue other people into behaving sensibly like I have made my mum change our car to run on un-leaded petrol. I talked and talked until she gave in, TURTLE KID POWER. ================================================= 1) My name is James my age is 9 and my hobby is football and I play every playtime with my friends Sam, Andrew, Carlton and Lee. My other hobby is basket ball and I am in a basketball club. I have a sister her name is Elizabeth. 2) When I grow up I want to be business man. ================================================== 1) My name is Andrew Gordon my hobby is riding my bike but at school I play football. I am a boy and I am age 11. I watch TV when I get home from school. I am black but I do not get upset when someone calls me names. 2) I want to have my own business when I grow up but but I would like to be a computer operator like my mum. I help teachers when they have problems with their computers in classrooms. 3) I would like the world not to be so violent and not racist in the future. In my school they think it is big to call people names and people get upset. 4) I would set a good example and when people drop litter I pick it up and give it to them back. - - - - -
