A lot of people complain that they
don't have a phone or that they don’t have nice branded clothes. They never
realize what other people are facing every day. Almost half the world ( 3
billion people ) live on less than $2.50 a day, that’s how much it costs to buy
a cup of coffee from Starbucks. 41 poor countries ( 567
million people ) have less money than 7 of the richest people in the world
combined. 1 billion children live in poverty unable to access clean water, food
or a proper education like us. 640 million live without shelter, 400 million
have no access to clean water, 270 million have no access to health services, 10.6
million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 ( about 29,000 children
per day ). Less than one percent of what the world spent on weapons was needed
to put every child into school by the year 2000 yet it never happened.
We should be thankful for what we have and not complain. We should be glad we
have easy access to clean water, food, health services and education. It is the
poor persons fault for making a bad decision, that’s why he/she is living the way they are now,
but we shouldn't blame poor people for what they did because everybody makes
mistakes, even you or I could have made the same mistake. They might have made
some bad choices but we could have also done the same thing. I think we should
help the less fortunate then ourselves. We buy a lot of things that we want but
don’t need. Instead of spending a lot of money on the things we don’t need we
should give the money to the poor and make a difference in their lives. It only
takes as little as a dollar or less a day to change one child's life forever
and give them a good life. There are so many sponsor sites you can go on and
help people out just one step at a time. :)
