PART 1　　 

　They are children at St. Oliver Plunkett Elementary School in Australia.  Sunglasses have become part of their "school uniform."

  The ozone layer has become thinner because of CFCs, and the ultraviolet (UV) rays have become very strong in Australia.  UV rays are bad for your eyes, and also for your skin.  It is a big problem for the people in Australia.  They have to protect themselves from the strong sunlight.  Many of them wear sunglasses like the children in the picture.

 

Part 2

  This is a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.  This hospital has been teaching basic nursing skills to children.　The doctors in this hospital hope that the children will be able to look after their grandparents at home.  This training course is called the "Doctor Kids Program."

  There are not enough hospitals in Thailand and other developing countries.  Also, poor people do not see a doctor so often.  "Doctor kids" cannot work like real doctors.  But children can do many things.  Sometimes they are more helpful for older people.

  The children are living on the street.  They are called street children.  They have never been to a regular school.

  Many other children around the world are in the same situation.  UNICEF and other organizations have been giving these children a chance to learn.
