them that she could be successful and this would help end their poverty. They agreed to let him take her away to
train. In 1991, she finally accepted an invitation to train in the United States. She had refused previously because
she knew she would miss her family. Her background was unlike those of the girls she met in the US. She explains,
"They were good athletes but, while I worried about my parents having enough to eat, they worried about dresses

Birthday Parties
As each year passes and a birthday comes around it is a time to celebrate and enjoy each important milestone.
The baby's first birthday will not be remembered by the infant, but for the family it is a very happy time. As children
grow older and learn to socialize with other boys and girls, the planned party causes great excitement. The child can
decide who to invite, where to hold the event and what sort of food to prepare.

amounts of energy. A party in the garden, if the weather is fine, is ideal. Alternatively a local community hall could be
hired. Some parents organize a visit from a children's entertainer, magician or puppeteer.
When school age is reached, party games are enjoyed. Pass the parcel is popular with parents as the children have

The origins of the Olympic Games can be traced back to ancient Greece, to as far back as 776 B.C. It was a Greek
tradition to hold athletic competitions every four years in honour of their gods or dead heroes.
The prizes awarded to the winners of each event in those days were a crown of olive and a palm branch. Although
this may seem meaningless in modern times, the true prize lay in the honour of having won the event. The winners
were given places of honour on public occasions. In some towns they even exempted from paying taxes.
The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. Since then, nations from around the world have been
meeting every four years to compete against one another. New Olympic records are set every time they meet. The
only exception to this quadrennial event was in 1944, when the Olympic Games were not held because of the
Second World War.
