We look at homelessness, what does it mean? How does WCHP help? What are the rights of a Child? Move to looking at Asia, brief stop to Bagdad to look at early Islamic Civilisations , then India, Indian dance, food culture etc. Alongside that we start our enterprise project. Children work towards a charity sale for WCHP at the end of the year.
