We have chosen this topic because we believe that many Maltese children suffer from abuse, and that there is not enough awareness about it and how to deal with it. Our aim is to raise awareness about this issue and how to seek help. We would like to encourage children to overcome their fear to talk about this problem because by speaking about it they can help themselves and others, and decrease child abuse.

At school, 5 small plastic bottles on average are thrown in the classroom recycling boxes daily. This means around 50 plastic bottles per day or 250 plastic bottles per week. Together we are discussing possible solutions to reduce this litter. Ideas that have been discussed include giving more information to students, encouraging all students to bring reusable bottles to school and installing a water dispensing machine.
