It's Time To Get Our Priorities in Order

Thirty million people a year die of hunger
Every 3.6 seconds a person dies of hunger
75% of them are childrem.
I believe that the poor will always be there.
I believe that too little people realise how many people live in poverty.
I believe poverty isn't an accident
Poverty, Population, Development
I believe that helping the poor is not always pleasant
I believe that money is no answer to poverty
I believe that when we see how many people are better off than us, we forget how many people are worse off than us.
I believe that anyone who has experienced poverty knows how expensive it is to be poor.
"A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion more than bread" ~ George Bernanos
"A rich man is nothing but poor man with money" ~ WC Fields
"To a man with an empty stomach, food is God." ~ Gandhi
The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other.
It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. ~ John Berger
I believe,
that we,
have the will,
to make poverty,
History.
Because,
Childrem born into poverty are more likely to have been low birth weight babies and are more likely to die in the first month than other childrem. Half the world - over 3 billion people - live on less than US$ 2 a day. Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
6.45 billion people live on this Earth.
800 million people go to bed hungry every night.
An Australian parking meter makes more in one hour than 2.74 billion people make in a day.
