Did you know?

I was looking for global issues and this subject gain my attention:

· Did you know that almost half of the world (approximately billion people), live on less than $2.50 a day?

· That nearly a billion people in the 21 century didn’t know how to read a book or sing their names.

· 1 billion children live in poverty.

· 640 million children live without adequate shelter

· 400 million children do not have access to health water

· 270 million children do not have access to health services

· 10. 6 million died in the 2003 before the age of 3.
