Current Event Assignment

Today my current event assignment is an article about an Egyptian billionaire offering to buy an island for war refugees. The title of the article I found on this topic is “Egyptian billionaire offers to buy island for refugees. I found my article on cnn.com. It is about Naguib Sawiris, one of the richest Egyptians. He has offered to buy land for war refugees to be safe. He stated that he is going to give them transpiration, jobs, universities, a place to live, and a new safe life. The refugees will have an option to leave whenever they would like. He is planning to name the island “Hope” He is planning to buy an island from either Greece or Italy. This article does not affect me at all. It does in fact affect the whole world, because he is saving a big part of the country. If i was in these peoples position I would think Naguib was a blessing from God. This article makes me happy and gives me hope in humanity that there are still generous selfless people in the world. The fact that Naguib is willing to spend a huge amount of his money and invest basically his whole rest of his life into this makes me happy. Because of this, I now have “hope”
