Volgograd
Elena Menshenev, age 15
Volgograd, Russia

It is my city, Volgograd
In the summer green sea infinite Blue Sky
and of course cries of the gulls accompany
the ship floating along the Volga.
My home is not far from this river.
I paint my city.
Let people in the city understand in the end
we are the losers if the environment has no more meaning.

The Weeping God
Adu Kumi Ernest, age 17
Ghana, West Africa

The future looks dark, not dark by night but by pollution
of our rivers and our lakes. I could imagine how sad the up and coming
generation will be. All the trees are cut down, rivers polluted by animal
waste and machine and boat smoke.
Let all unite and fight against the pollution.
Editors Note: We were so surprised to see the Danzu river
when we left the airport in Accra. It seemed it had been used as a
garbage dump. Trash was piled high on its green banks and the river
itself was gray and murky.
