it's been a while since my last post, and I will hopefully will be able to write more and keep you updated with new up and coming information. The three main issues faced in Africa could be prevented with proper hygiene or appropriate treatment.

FIRST IS HEALTH AND NUTRITION
DID YOU KNOW that many children die from Measles, malaria and diarrhea many under the age of 10. Parents of theses young children also are effected by the many causes of death in this developing country-95% of the population have been diagnosed with HIV/STD AIDS. and six MILLION children die from hungry.

EDUCATION
On top of problems with there home life they are unable to have the luxury of going to school- 134 million between the ages of 7 to 18 either don't have the money to afford school or the proper supplies in order to learn are not available.

EXPLOITATION
Finally the last issue that Africa faces in exploitation if you unaware of what this means, it means that many of the young children are exposed to war at very early ages which may have a terrifying effect on their lives, and because of all the war this country faces they must provide for the people in the war instead of themselves.

I hope that by posting information through this blog I will be able to make people want to change the way they want the world to be and not the way it actually is. To open your eyes to new problems that others are facing and stop thinking of the little problems in our own life that seem to be big, but aren't really that bad.

Chid Poverty In Africa

Welcome,

We have assigned by our grade 11 English class to choose a global issue that desperately needs help to make their country a more enjoyable one. Did you know that may of the children in Africa have to work for days on end just to make ends meet. They never had this global issue before but because of the odd weather conditions they were unable to grow their crops making their life a sad and depressing one that had a deep effect on the children. When there once green land quickly changed for the worst to a dry desert theses young children have to work all night and day to make a decent living for themselves and because the children have to work all day many of them don't get the privilege to go to school and get an education.

I will continue to post my comments and feeling on this global issue.
write a comment but make it nice.
