did you know that every three seconds a child dies due to completely preventable causes? ones that we could have helped?
the average family in the united states eats on $341.98 per week, the average family in chad eats on approximately $1.23.
quite a big difference.
do you know that there are one billion people living on less than $1 a day in our world?
if WE WANTED to provide every single child with a chance to go to school or to have some sort of shelter, it would cost an additional 12 million dollars a year.
last year we spent 18 billion dollars on make-up
40 billion dollars on golf
400 billion dollars on cigarettes
(statistics from 2007)
“it is totally possible to end poverty in a lifetime, but its a shift just as much in north america as it is over there.”
if you think about it, we have the opportunity to change the world IF we wanted to, it’s just sad to know that: WE. DONT. CARE.
why???
so how could i stand here and not be moved?
