we are the world
DESCRIPTION
I just wanted to give everyone a better idea of what some children have to go through and to hopefully open some eyes.TRANSCRIPT
We are the world, is this how we
should let people live?
Over 24,000 children die every day around the world.
That is equivalent to: 1
child dying every 3.6
seconds.
It is equivalent to a 2010 Haiti earthquake
occurring almost every 10 days.
We complain when someone gets us Evian
water instead of Dasani….. They’re just happy they can drink
something.
We complain that our parents are too
overprotective of
us…..At least we have
them.
One in six
African children
dies before the age of five.
Some of these deaths
could be prevente
d.
These children would love to have someone. Someone to feed them. Someone to hold them. Someone to watch over them. Just. Someone.
Are we really going to sit back and watch these children die?
Are we
really going to sit back and
watch them cry?
They’re starving and hungry.
They just wan
t one bite.
Would you be able to live like this?
These kids
struggle every single day of
their lives and push as long as they
can. They’re super
human.
They don’t get
a childhood. They have to grow up
very fast. A lot of them
without parents.
And the ones that do have parents, they can’t do much. All they can do is hope they have one more day.
All they can do is hope someone
comes for them
.
We complain when we don’t get our Nike shoes and have to settle with Adidas.
These kids want better
but they don’t know anythi
ng else.
Sometimes, children
would rather die than live another
day.
Is this really
how the world was
supposed to end
up?
What can we do to
help them?
They want someone. They need someone. They’ve
got nothing.
We’ve got everything
. What. Can. We.
Do.
