Hello.

I found this video that explains the life they deal with, in this video you see an image of the destruction of there homes, that are already very weak. Then as you look father into the video it shows a young family who have a young child that is suffering a common illness but since there is no medicine or antibiotics to cure them they must tough out the illness, cause if they don't there is a likely chance they will die.

They families are usually very large compared to most in Canada which makes it even hareder for them to survive with slim to no food or clean drinking water.
We need to do something now, if we want to change things in the future.

Now please enjoy.


leave a comment, let me know what you think of the video.



Today I will be talking about the many sad stories the the young children in Africa face each and every day.

This first story is about a young girl who works all day when she is handicapped and can't work well be herself but since she needs to work to make her life a little better she must work anyways.

Nodira is one of five children in a poor family. Every morning, after saying her prayers, she feeds the hens and goats from her wheelchair. The rest of her day is spent knitting for other people and helping her mother with the household chores.

Nodira has never been to school because it is too far from her home and she can't go because the schools in Africa are not wheelchair accessible. A local teacher used to come and tutor her at home and, as a result, she was able to finish third grade. After that, her parents moved to another town and the tutor was no longer able to come and visit her.

So after reading a story from a young child who is going through a extreme poverty then why wouldn't you want to help.

Hey

Today I will be talking about the cold hard facts of the young children in Africa.
Some of them are sad to hear about but I know that if we don't hear these facts we will never learn how to fix them.

- 315 million people – one in two of people in Sub Saharan Africa survive on less than one dollar per day. I know that I spend more then one dollar a day to live and I sure that many others would agree with me, so we must donate and encourage others to do the same.

- 184 million people – 33% of the African population – suffer from malnutrition. What is malnutrition ? well its the biggest problem is in Africa where half of all children are undernourished, and not getting the proper and healthy things to eat.

- And this problem isn't just going to go away, in fact it has now reached over 20 different countries.

- Many of us think that the telephone and Internet is considered a luxury but many of the children are not able to communicate with their loved ones.

- Less than one person out of five has electricity. Out of 1.000 inhabitants 15 have a telephone line, and 7,8 out of 1.000 people surf on Internet.


WHY would you turn your back on them ?




This video shows the facts of those young children in Africa.
