Hello, I'm Ayshah with Friday morning's stories. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Storm Irma, one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded, | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
is carrying on its path across the Caribbean, | :00:19. | :00:19. | |
Overnight, the British Islands of Turks and Caicos have suffered | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
from the wind and rain the storm has brought. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
The UK has promised ?32 million in help and, along with France | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
and the Netherlands, are sending rescue teams | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
and emergency supplies to help the one million people experts think | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Now, most of you are back in school, and while that can be | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
really exciting, it can also be nerve-wracking. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
Most of you will be looking forward to the year, | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
but some of you will be worrying about other things, like bullying. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
We met up with one boy who's experienced both sides of school | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Hi, my name's Alexander, I'm 11 years old and I enjoy acting, | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
playing my music, playing tennis and rugby. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
I'm really looking forward to going back to school, and I cannot wait. | :01:11. | :01:22. | |
Unfortunately a few years ago I was bullied, | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
and I was called very rude names, and rumours were being | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
And this made me feel really sad, and it made me feel worried | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
about what was going to happen the next day. | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
Then I was so fed up with what was happening, | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
I decided to enter a competition where I would write | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
a letter to the bully, telling them how I felt. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
After I wrote the letter, I felt like I'd got something off my chest, | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
because I hadn't spoken completely outright about how | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Now I feel that I've come out a much more confident person, | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
and I think the issues I've had have helped to shape my independence. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
And now that I'm an anti-bullying ambassador, I can help people, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
and if someone comes up to me and says they feel someone's | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
being mean to them, I'd know how they feel. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Remember to tell someone you trust about what's going on. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
It really helps that someone else knows. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Remember that it's not your fault that someone's being mean to you. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
This year I'm looking forward to our school play | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
and our school competitions, because they are really crazy | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
And if bullying is something you are worried about, | :02:53. | :03:04. | |
remember to talk to an adult, and there's loads of help and advice | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
It's not just kids in the UK back at school - | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
children around the world are cracking on with their lessons. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Here's one school in Pakistan that's a little different... | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Meet kids in Karachi in Pakistan getting on with their lessons. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
But this isn't a regular kind of school in the city. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
It's been made right under a flyover and next to some busy roads. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
It might seem basic and noisy to work in, but without it these | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
kids wouldn't have anywhere else to go to school. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
That's because, while most kids in the UK are in lessons, | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
these children used to have to work and earn money to help | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
TRANSLATION: I used to have to sweep, to mop and dust | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
My dad died, so my mum said I needed to work. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
TRANSLATION: At first, my mum wouldn't let me come. | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
I said I wanted to study, but she said no, I need to work. | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
But since I've learned to read and write, my mum is really happy. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
As well as a free education, pupils get a free lunch | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
and free school uniform, and they get paid to attend to make | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
up for the money they would have earned if they were working instead. | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
It's hoped schools like this will allow the poorest of children | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
in Pakistan to get an education, and hopefully get better | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
That's all from me, I'm back in about half-an-hour. | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
