1 billion people can not read or write
2.6 billion people lack clean water and sanitation
Almost 30% of the world’s children are underweight and malnourished
UNICEF estimates that 22,000 children die every day from poverty
This week is a good opportunity to reflect on all that we have in our lives to be thankful for... all those things we usually take for granted... and to remind ourselves that, for most of us in this country, our worst day is 10 times better than the best day of almost half the world.
Best wishes to all my friends, family, and tribe! *Arf! Arf!*
And to you and yours--Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI am truly thankful to have met you in 2011, gotten to know you in 2012, and looking forward to even more in 2013.
