Hello, I have joined this discussion because I think that most people are either not aware of the problem of starvation and the lack of food in certain parts of the world or that, even if they are informed about it, they don’t care enough and simply let thousands and thousands of malnourished and hungry children die in front of our eyes.
I am aware of the problem and to me it is both amazing and terribly sad that some people have too much and some don’t have almost anything.
Open your hearts, watch these two videos, and tell me - is this normal? I don’t think so. It’s shocking. We need to help these people, especially kids, who live in terrible conditions. We must do our best and try to help them survive and enjoy in every second of their life. They have much bigger problems than we have. Our problems versus theirs are zero, nothing. Our parents are alive, we live decent lives in nice flats and family houses, our schools are clean and warm, there is always dinner waiting for us on the table when we return home after having played some sports with our friends, we have mobile phones, access to the Internet, we spend our summer holidays at the seaside and they, obviously – have nothing at all. They seem to be completely helpless.
I think that we should unite, help them get enough food and money to get educated, find a job and live a decent life! I expect your comments :)
