Paroa School WPCA Challenge #2 - Rafting

Paroa School WPCA Challenge #1 2018 - Caving Cave Stream!

caving

exciting ready to go could not wait to get to the crazy fun challenges of true nature the best and hardest challenges around. arriving in the cave me almost bursting with excitement wanting to see what was around the first corner. Well, I will tell you what it was, roaring rapids

every push for the water flowing through the cave pushing me to go further with even more excitement. three small waterfalls that were almost as challenging as trying to run through a football field with every person on the other side have their targets set on me getting smashed by every one of them that is what it felt like trying to get through the waterfalls but it just would not stop tackling me. and honestly, I did not even have a favorite part we were going through a cave for peat sake, the whole thing was exciting, But if I had to choose it would be getting in the cave and the part that I hated the most was getting out of the cave. And that story I just told you is what inspired me to keep wondering in all of the wpca 

challenges, to keep wondering what was around that first corner     

1985 rainbow warrior gets bombed

In 1985 there was a ship called the rainbow warrior that was a protest against nuclear bombs and nuclear testing. To a lot of people, the rainbow warrior was a hero and a great success.

It was so successful we still know about it today. At the time the rainbow warrior was on its

Journey to stop the nuclear bombs they came across the French testing their bombs no uninhabited islands. The rainbow warrior was straight into the action ready to stop the French. They put the flags up as the sun fell just in case they reached the destination of the French at night time. the french dived under the boat and placed a bomb on the hull of the ship, And the hit was successful sinking the ship fast as a rock dropping from your palm. One crew member died from the explosion. His name was Fernando Pereira and he was the cameraman and they say that he was the only one awake at the time of the explosion. As the ship sunk the crew escaped and were saved and the French were caught red-handed. A couple of days later they ended up arresting secret service dgse agents as they were sentenced to ten years but they let out one other agent out after two years because she was pregnant and the other went back to France.

1981 spring box game

In 1981 there was a aparthied going on for 56 six days people described this crazy avent as a splitting of protesters and rugby supporters. The supoosed to be an amazing game tured into a violent scene and very quick as people had made sines saying no rasism here and also put on locel busses whites only. But the games still went on wich made the protester make a move and breaking the hitting women and injuring children. This avvent got so bad that the rugby supporter

Put a fence around the stadiam but the protesters riped it down and they also started droping flower bombes on the rugby field.
