“One Planet Earth One People” is the story of 11 year-old Isobel Rossi from Ireland, whose school project of the same name sees her partnered with Kofi Bediako, a 12 year-old boy in Ghana.
Together, Isobel and Kofi learn about the birth of the universe, how they came to be on Planet Earth, and how all life on Earth is interdependent.
They learn about how we use the planet’s resources to feed and clothe ourselves, to build homes and to manufacture all the products we use every day.
Under the guidance of Professor Marsh, an agricultural scientist and leader of the project, Isobel and her classmates come to understand about poverty and the challenges that developing countries face in trying to provide for their people.
Through email exchanges, Isobel and Kofi learn about each other’s way of life, discover their differences and similarities, and ultimately realize their shared desire to change the world.
