ESSAY

Nowadays, millions of people in the world live in extreme poverty.

Children with empty stomachs, sick women with no medical treatment
and the elderly sleeping on the streets are examples of real issues that the
world should fight against. The first step to change this reality is to help
those in richer countries become aware of disadvantaged people in
countries in need. How can we approach this goal? There seems to be two
possible approaches.
Firstly, let us start with the fastest possible way to spread the news: the
media. This could be good help since television, radio or the Internet are
available for the vast majority of people in wealthy regions who have
access to up-to-date news every minute of the day. Therefore, having the
terrible situation in third-world continents exposed could be shocking but
necessary to start helping those in need.
Secondly, education is also a powerful weapon against poverty as it helps
prevent indifference. Children ought to be taught that poverty exists and it
is a difficult issue that the world has to address. Thus, consciousness can
be raised as children are the seeds for the future.
Undoubtedly, poverty cannot be eradicated from one day to another,
however, relying on the impact of the media on people could be a great
first step to start making a difference. Moreover, if we consider that we
need a stronger way to struggle with this important problem, then
education can be the solution, as it will help build a new future through
children who need to be conscious of the difficult living conditions that
exist in poorer nations.
 REPORT
Hidden paradise in Peru
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to provide information about the natural
touristic area called Lomas de Lúcumo, a little known natural sight in the
capital of the country.
A natural destination
Located in the south of Lima, Lomas de Lúcumo is a big green area with
small mountains locally called “lomas”. Here, the flora and fauna can be
observed while trekking through all the lomas. Moreover, a number of
activities is practiced during the visit of tourists- mostly locals, such as bird
photography, rappel, horseback riding and rappel. The best time to visit is
during the winter due to the light rain which cause the growth of bushy
vegetation.
Its significance to the country
It is widely acknowledged that Machu Picchu is one of the most beautiful
destinations around the world, however it is not the only natural wonder
we have. There are hundreds of other Peruvian sights that should also be
promoted. Lomas de Lúcumo is just as stunning as other natural
destinations in the world, and hence, promoting it would put Peru in front
of the eyes of the world again.
Recommendations
In conclusion, this could be a potential destination for international
tourists looking for natural sites where different activities could be
practiced. I would suggest our agency invests in publicity to attract more
visitors to this sight. Therefore, my recommendation is that we create an
international campaign promoting Lomas de Lúcumo as the best way to be
in contact with nature in all our social networking sites and all through the
media.
