When my son Ryan was six years old and in the first grade, his teacher, Nancy, talked to the class about developing countries and how they could help people, particularly children, in other parts of the world. The teacher told the class that seventy dollars would buy a well in developing countries. When Ryan heard people died because they didn’t have clean water, he was deeply affected. He came home that day and insisted he needed seventy dollars for class the next morning.
Jurassic Park — Scientific Fact or Hollywood Fiction?
Steven Spielberg's successful sci-fi adventure film follows two dinosaur experts — Dr Alan and Dr Ellie Sattler — as they are invited by the eccentric millionaire John Hammond to visit his new amusement park on an island off Costa Rica before it opens to the public.

Accompanied by Hammond's two grandchildren, they are sent on a tour through Jurassic Park in computer-controlled cars.
