diseases and families

Why is it that in countries all over the world children aren't able to spend quality time with their families? Many children around the world aren't able to spend time with their family, because some of them don't even have parents. This is because their parents have died of a disease or are very sick from a disease. Many children go each day not even seeing their parents. Many of these parents are sick with curable diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and acute lower respiratory infections, but since they don't have the medical equipment that we have they aren't able to get better. So they can't spend time with their children. The children are stuck taking care of themselves and their other sibling. Since these children are having to take care of themselves many are suffering from malnutrition and other diseases. We as people in America need to find a way to give third world countries medicine and treatment to make these families better so they can spend more time with their kids. There are many sites that have some very interesting info on these diseases as well as some facts on how many people are affected. these are great sites that help us to remember that we need to help children get reunited with their families, so they can start spending more time together. Once we help some people they will go out and help others to get better.

bowling and mini golfing

On a previous comment on one of my blogs a question was asked if there is any activities for teenagers to do with their parents. The answer is there are many things that teenagers can do with their parents. One thing that teenagers can do with their parents is to go bowling. Bowling is a game that many parents can do with their children. Bowling is good for parents and teenagers to do because its something they can do and talk to each other at the same time. They can try to see who is the best bowler with who has the highest score. Families can also laugh at have a good time by seeing how bad some people are at bowling. There are many bowling alleys around that people can go to during most times of the day, or during any time of the year. Some people never think about going bowling with their kids they only think of simple family activities like dinner together.
Some families may not like to go bowling for those families there is always mini golfing for teenagers and parents to do together. They can pick a night and go mini golfing and have fun hanging out with eighteen holes of fun. Teenagers will like to have stuff for just their parents and them to do together in stead of having to worry about younger siblings because every one needs time to get away. There are many other things for parents to do with their teenagers their are websites with list of places for bowling and mini golfing and other activities for families with teenagers.
