For
Our field trip we visited Dr. Daniels, who grew up as a Quaker in
Pennsylvania. Dr. Daniels told us about how when he was a young boy,
they would have Quaker meetings. At the meetings, they would sit
around and basically think about things. If someone had something
they wanted to share they could. Dr. Daniels went to school just
like us and says that growing up as a quaker wasn't much different from
how we grow up today. The major difference was that they had
these meetings. Quakers believed that all people were equal so
they didn't have any designated leaders of the church, they didn't have
pasters, preachers, minister or priests. Everyone taught everyone
else because they were all
equal.

 After
we
got to ask Dr. Daniels
some questions, we watched a video about a Inderjit Khurana,
a freedomfighter
for education in India. Inderjit was confinced that the
children she saw everyday would never be able to escape poverty and
homelessness with out education. So, she created a platform
schools.
