World poverty day

I am aware of this a little bit late then usual (refering to the calendaristic date)but I belive that is never late to think of the others. I found out that:"World Poverty Day is observed every October 17th, in order to promote awareness of the need to eradicate poverty and destitution around the world."



I found that almost 25 000 people, most of them children, die each day of hunger and hunger-related causes, that means every 3 and a half minutes. That's awful and totaly not just. Can you imagine the look in the eyes of a little child that finds out his brother just died and that tomorrow could be his turn to live this world? This world that he knew so little, where he never learnt what love and happiness is, what is like to love and to be loved in return, what is like to hold your own child in your arms, what is like to be happy because the sun is on the sky again in the morning and you are alive.

Do you think this is just when someone throws the food in the garbage can or just refuses to eat his food just because is to salty or because has mushrooms in it - on the other side of the globe someone dies because he just simply cannot remember when was the last time he ate something? I'm sure you share my opinion.
