A Real Problem
By Alix Nelson
I have been told that I am ignorant. That I don’t know what’s going on the world. I think that we all experience this to some degree. You know the saying ignorance is bliss, it’s true. Many of are unaware of how many problems we have going on all around us. We have enough to eat, roofs over our heads, and clothes on our backs. We are so blessed to live in America. America is great but it is making blind to everyone, all the countries, and all the people that need the simplest things that we usually take advantage of. All we do is worry about ourselves. We have no idea of what people have to go through just to get the necessities. Like walking miles to get water that we have at a seconds notice.
Lack of clean water kills more people than the natural disasters, the earthquakes, hurricanes and floods put all together. Almost 90% of all diseases are caused by unclean drinking water. 5000 children under five die every day. That’s a child every 15 seconds. That’s so messed up. People are stuck in poverty. Children can carry 1000 water borne parasites at a time. Plus, kids can’t get a good education, all because they don’t have clean drinking water.
But it can have a happy ending! We have the power to end it. It takes some serious cash to end only half of the water crisis; the estimated cost is 5 billion to 21 billion dollars. And I know none of us have that kind of money just lying around but if we come together we can help make a dent in 21 billion. We have the ability to change people’s lives. We can donate our money and our time. We can even help by spreading the word; becoming an advocate. That is what I am going to do, spread the word. I encourage you to try to help in the same way. Even if all you can do is look at livingwaterinternational.com. The water crisis is all they focus on and all in Jesus’ name. Not all of us can donate our money and our time but we can all say a few words about this very worthy cause. Together we can change the world. People are dying, what are you going to do about it?
