Have
you ever moved home? How did you feel about
moving?
Imagine
that you are selling your home. Draw a poster
for an estate agent advertising your home.
Add a picture and description of the home
telling people why they should buy it.
Some
people say that moving home is one of the
most stressful experiences in life. But many
poorer people are forced to move even when
they don’t want to.
Like
many cities, good land is in short supply
in Cebu in The Philippines. A community called
Sobusteha used to live next to a downtown
bus terminal in the city where they would
sell food and gifts to passengers. But the
owners of the bus terminal told them to move
because they wanted to add more bus lanes
and clean up the place.
Moving
has been good news and bad news for
the people of Sobusteha. Now you have
read what they have to say about their
move,
for a drag and drop exercise.
Drag the statements into the correct
column on the table
(you
will need flash player 6)
Like
the Sobusteha community, people in the poorer
neighbourhoods of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil work
together to improve their lives. Visit Global

Elsewhere
in Brazil, living together can mean more than
that. Go to the next page to find out how
