Becoming one with the world. Child poverty. The Facts.TRANSCRIPT
BECOMING ONE WITH THE WORLD
“We are the first generation in history from whom nature needs fewer babies and more wisdom.” Marianne Williamson
BECOME ONE
As unity arises we ���learn of the connection, empathy and love in recognition of self ���in the other
How can we put this in to practice and look beyond ���our doorstep on to the world?
CHILDREN. ���OUR FUTURE.
More than 30% of children in developing countries, about 600 million, live on less than ���US $1 a day.
22,000 children die each day due to conditions of poverty.
Every 10 seconds, a child dies from hunger-related diseases.
66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world.
An education is a child’s strongest barrier ���against poverty, especially for girls.
The World is shaped by our common aspirations and it is through our everyday actions that we provide tacit approval to our reality.
“The problem with the world is that we are not in our right minds.” Gandhi
There are ���2.2 billion children in the world. ���1 billion are in poverty.
Out of greed, ignorance & selfishness we created a world of extreme inequality.
Do the inside work…
BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
