For this post I am going to change my essential question to focus on kids all around the world. Something like, What will make a child's life unforgettable? Instead, of focusing on myself I would like to view things from the eyes of others. It has made me realize how lucky I am to have a roof over my head and best of all, a family to always love me. I have watched many videos today that were extremely shocking. I have seen kids who aren't out of diapers yet and don't have a home to live in. Kids who are ill and struggle daily. Kids who would cry out of joy, for receiving just a Barbie, something so simple as that is the highlight of their day. Children who don't know what it's like to have a mom or dad. Just having food on the table is a blessing. It is hard to imagine how truly lucky we all are. And to those who work to make these children's lives better everyday, you are the greatest heroes of all.
This video tells what is really happening around the world. Africa has a major poverty crisis which needs to be addressed immediately. It explains everything that needs to be said. One dreadful fact I found about poverty was that if we supplied 6.3 billion people in the world with food, there would be 200 million still in need. That has to tell you that something is wrong and needs to be done. Hopefully this clip will inspire you to make a difference.
Please watch this video...it is the TRUTH
You can visit www.one.org to sign a petition to make poverty history.
