How would my life be different if I was born to a poor family that makes $1/day in a developing country in Africa? Also what is my responsibility as a Christian to people who happened to be born in an underdeveloped area of the world and who don't have access to basic necessities of life? In this blog you will see my answer to all of these questions and I will also be talking about avideo that my teacher had us watch in class.
My life would be different in so many ways if I lived in a developing country. One example is that I would probably be walking to school instead of riding in a bus or car. I would not have the nice clothes that I have right now. I would also probably sleep on the floor instead of on a comfy bed.
Another example is that I would probably not have a lot of food or water so I would not eat much food or even healthy food. Because of this I would not be able to think straight in school if I was able to go to school. So my grades would drop tremendously. Soon I would just drop out because I was failing so much.
I am a Christian and I want to help these people who are living in developing countries. Here are some examples on how I can help them. For instance I think every one even if they are not Christians know how to this, I would pray for them. You can donate money to help them get the things they need. You can also get together with an organization and go over to the country and try to help them get to a better state of life.
The video that my teacher had us watch called Charity Water explained alittle bit more about this subject. Did you know that there is a water crisis in our world? Well if you didn't you know now. The video stated that nearly 1 billion people in the world live without clean drinking water. It is especially happening in developing areas. Water not only affects your health but also your education, poverty, and also women and children. It is very sad and mostly affects the women and girls living I these countries because they spend hours each day fetching water and do not have time for an education and the trip is very dangerous. The water that they collect has so much germs in it. They know it is but what choice do they have. This is their only source of water. Almost 1 billion people live like this every day.
Well this is the end of another one of my blogs. We can help these people. There are so many solutions to this water crisis. Remember, to give is to recieve but do not think that every time that you give you have to get something back in return especially if it is physical. You might just recieve the satisfaction of helping someone who was in need. And if you have anymore suggestions on how we can help these people please feel free to share.
