autum poem

I take a step ...crunch crunch .
I step on the leaves all different colours .
It looks like a rainbow scattered all over the ground piled up to my knees.

As i look up I see red orange brown and green leaves falling onto my head.
That is the best time when you see the leaves floating around in the sky.
I see the leaves flying higher and higher
I'm so happy i just fall back into the pile of leaves and….crunch crunch.
As i stand up i'm covered in the beautiful leaves all in my hair
That's how you know it's autumn.
The best time of the year.

henry dunant


Jean Henry Dunant was a businessman who is the founder of Red Cross in 1863. This company is still up and running all over the world.
                   
Henry Dunant won the nobel peace prize in 1901 while he was at it he managed to publish a book called Un Souvenir De Solferino. Dunant’s Book is about how he witness the suffering of the wounded soldiers which is a decisive when Dunant founded the international committee of the Red Cross


Henry made a business called Red Cross the red cross is a business that helps if there was a big earthquake or something that affects heaps of people, they will go and make sure everyone is alright and make sure they have a home to stay in. The Red Cross still carries on everywhere even though henry is dead he made such a great company that it is helping save lives in Syria.  


Dunant went bankrupt because he declined his business assignment and had to pay 1,000,000 Swiss Francs which is 1,449,183.44 New Zealand dollars and left Geneva in 1867.

Dunant deserved to get the nobel peace prize because without Red Cross there would be more people getting sick or hurt. The Red Cross is good because people decided to work for it voluntarily.This a great cause because every time you donate towards it, it is a great feeling knowing that you may’ve saved someone's life. Although he had done great no one can live forever.
