Last Sat. 30 teachers and students volunteered to help rebuild a house with Habitat for Humanity. What a great experience. Unreal how much we take for granted.
It is 2010 and yet:
* 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day.
* 1.6 billion- one quarter of humanity- live without electricity.
* For every $1 dollar recieved by a developing country, over 25 dollars is spent on debt repayment.
*Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or write their name.
*Less than one percent of what the world spent every year on military weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 but yet it didn't happen.
