The main goal of the World Bank is to fight poverty. But, for almost ten years, the World Bank has also investigated financial crimes by governments and bank officials.

In 1996, former World Bank President James Wolfensohn warned of the need to deal with the “cancer of corruption（腐败）”.

The World Bank defines corruption as offering, giving, receiving or asking for anything of value to influence the action of a public official .For example, a local official may demand that a foreign company pay him money ,or a bribe ,to permit a project to go forward.

       The World Bank says corruption is the biggest barrier to development .Corruption hurts the poor people who are supposed to gain from development bank loans and aid.

       The World Bank created a group of anti-corruption investigators in 1999.It later became the Department of Institutional Integrity .The bank says the DII has investigated almost two thousand accusations of corruption. The Bank has twenty-two investigators. It spends about ten million dollars each year on anti-corruption measures.

       The current. World Bank President was appointed last year. He says he will increase number of investigators and the budget for fighting corruption. He has also suspended loans to India, Kenya, Bangladesh and other nations suspected of corruption.

       Reports say some members of the World Bank do not agree with his actions .They say it is not fair to deny the necessity of a loan for purposes such as health care .After all ,only a small proportion of the money is related to corruption.

       Critics say the Bank can’t carefully supervise（监督）the loans and projects it finances. The Bank approves about two hundred and forty new projects each year. And it has more than one thousand existing loans, each of which may contain many agreements.

       In addition, the World Bank is part of the World Bank Group .It includes the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which has one hundred and eighty-four member nations. In 2004 ,the World Bank Group provided or guaranteed more than $ 2,500,000,000 loans.

When is the right time to get kids involved in teamwork and what does it mean to be part of a team? There are many great ways to introduce kids to team building. Use team building games and activities to get kids to understand the meaning of being in a team.

    Try to find some games that have kids work together on some kind of problem solving. Children naturally have a shorter attention span (一段时间) than adults so present it in a funny way. Create a reward system for teams that are able to work together in order to reach a common goal. When they solve the problem and receive a reward, it gives them initiative to keep working hard and cooperating with others. The best games are those that require direct communication between team members.

    Organize a game of 20 questions for the kids to play while building a team. Draw up a series of cards with different questions on each. Have each child select a card and then ask another question on it casually. It’s a great way for the kids to share and discover common interests. Kids need to be entertained and social when in a large group. This will lighten the mood greatly and help the quieter team members to come out of their shells.

    Have the kids sit in a circle or around a table and share their favorite things. Start with something like movies or books and move on to anything from toys to animals. Sharing interests creates discussion. When you share interests with someone, it is easier to relate to them. Kids finally want to be friends with most other kids. Encouraging them to get along socially is always positive. By sharing interests they can form valuable bonds that will serve them as both individuals and as a team.
