Think About This!

1.   Someone dies of hunger every 16 seconds.
2.  Last year, 22 million people died of preventable diseases; 10 million were children. 
3.  Roughly 40 million people (the equivalent of about 7 Jewish holocausts) die annually from    
     starvation,  disease, and malnutrition.
4.  40% of the world lacks basic water sanitation, resulting in disease, death, waste water for
     drinking, and loss of immunity; yet Americans consume 26 billion liters of bottled water
     a day.
5.  More than 143 million children in the world have been orphaned or abandoned (equivalent to
     more than half the population of the USA).
6.  4 out of 5 children worldwide work every day instead of going to school.
7.  Of the 6 billion people on earth, about 1.2 billion live on $0.23 a day.  Half the world lives on less
     than $2 a day.  (this places you and me in the upper, upper, upper percentages of the global
     population)  If you make $50,000 annually, you are top 1%.
