Do you remember those days when you come home and your mother is not home and you are hungry but he Is there nothing to eat? Or just when you're starving? Well, imagine feeling this feeling every day of your life, this is what people who live in poverty feel every day. Think about how you would feel if you saw a loved one die before your eyes and knew there was nothing you could do to help them. Maybe this happened to a child whose mother had to watch. It would always stay with her and haunt her for the rest of her life. Poverty and world hunger are major epidemics in the world today, we must raise awareness. I think this problem will only get worse as the years go by if we don't do something as a people. When we really think about how poor people live, it makes us want to appreciate what we have a little more, at least for me. Nearly half of the planet lives in poverty, three billion people live on less than three dollars a day, 80% of the world's population lives on less than ten dollars a day, or almost three quarters of the planet. 40% of the world's population lives on five percent of the world's income. Then there are the richest twenty percent in the world who live on 40 percent of the world's income. UNICEF says 22,000 children die from poverty-related causes. When I talk about reasons related to poverty, I mean starvation, malnutrition, dehydration, malaria and other diseases. Most children die in the poorest villages in the world, the ones no one hears about on the news. Weakness makes these deaths even more discreet than they already are. The poorest regions with the highest hunger rates are South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. If this pattern continues, in the middle of the article ......worked at Goldman Sachs and the World Bank, joined Easterly with his new book Dead aid, they both argue that aid does more harm than help. There are some incredibly generous people, one of them is Heifer, Susan Sarandon. She traveled to Cambodia to see the heifers working in person. She watched him work on the gift-giving ceremony in which families who can obtain food give their female cattle offspring to the poor. Susan says it was a moving experience. Poverty and global hunger are major epidemics in the world and we need to increase public awareness. Hundreds of thousands of people die every day from disease and hunger. As human beings we must help each other, because they are suffering, we must be aware of what is in front of our eyes. the death toll from famine is astonishing. It makes me appreciate what I have.
