Will Smith School: Africa Needs More Goats

 

At the New Village Academy, a private school being funded by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, students will recycle plastic bottles at 10 cents per bottle. For every $100 they save (1000 bottles), they will buy a new goat for an African village.

The school claims that each village's new goat will help the village to survive. According to a report, however, new goats are a very low priority for African villages. The report claims that the $100 could be better used for schools and medicines.

Some of the New Village Academy's courses will be based on methods used by the controversial Scientology organization, and there will be some Scientologist teachers. Smith denies that he is a Scientologist, although he did give money to the sect.

  It's amazing  
 
... what rich people do with their money. I seem to remember Pam Anderson having a wedding for her two dogs once.
How about donating the $100 for some clean water or trying to modernize some of these places with electricity? No, let's just send a goat instead. They did this on South Park and it just made people angry. Doesn't Will Smith watch South Park?

"Doesn't Will Smith watch South Park"

Where do you think he got the idea?

Anyways, what use would solar panels and inexpensive laptops for schools be?

More to the point, what good would medicines and vaccines be?

What good would fresh drinking water be,simplest of them all, for that matter?

Any without a goat I mean. They are pointless and useless without a goat ... to sacrafice.

Will Smith, not a scientologist but a really scary guy with a fetish for goats and cheese.

  They have sent us up the goat!  
 
Scientologist teachers-- what are they going to teach? That's what I gotta wonder.

How to sue a goat?

  Joking aside  
 
raising funds for such things is really worth while, now all they need is seeds and water to improve their loves along with a million other things, but a good start.

"Some of the New Village Academy's courses will be based on methods used by the controversial Scientology organization"

Nice logic. Churches of Scientology use secular methods to train their members (like class rooms, exercises, practicals), so that means all schools are Scientology?

Actually, that school is using "study technology" which is just a methods to understand what you are studying. No "Scientology" in it.

Do you have an alarm that goes off every time the word Scientology is used on the Internet? You must be very busy and never sleep.
