My Speech
Hey
Over the last few weeks at school we have been making a speech about poverty here it is -
836 million people still live in extreme poverty.
836 million people. Extreme poverty rates have been cut by more than half since 1990. Every day in 2014, 42,000 people had to abandon their homes to find protection due to conflict. They are also people who make more than $1.25 a day and there are people who make less than this. Can you imagine not being able to eat or get enough money for your family's?
Unsurprisingly, people are being hurt because they are living on the streets, they are dying because they are hungry and they are freezing because they have no warmth. The harm is, it's destroying people's lives making them sad and lonely and it's going to keep getting worse if we don’t help.
I know. Changing what we do every day just to make room for people that could have gotten themselves into this position in the first place doesn't seem fair. But if we don't, that number, 836
million, will continue to grow until only the rich will be left. Think about it. The rich, they are the people that can afford things that the poor can only dream of, pillows, matrel objects, even a roof over their heads. Those things most people you know have, right? The challenges are the things that are making us not able to help these people get what they need to survive this world. People started to realize that they can not help them because the problem was too big. I mean how were they going to get 836 million people off the streets and out of poverty with food and water and a roof over their heads? How are going to be the people who step up and take the challenge?
This problem is a shocking, scary, overwhelming crime that people are letting happen… Living on streets with no shelter, no access to food and water because they are being restricted. Their well being and mental well being, physical and health are low because they have no money to afford it. Education and employment is hard because they can’t have a shower and make them look nice. Why things aren't or haven't been changed. I feel like the reason behind this is because people think that the people in poverty got themselves into this so they should get themselves out but that is not always the case. Some people had a roof over their head and food and water but they just ended up like this sometimes it's not their choice.
Imagine a world with all people going to bed with a roof over their heads.
Imagine a city with no one starving themselves.
Imagine a street where everyone can ford to go to school and have good health.
Are we really going to let this happen? No! Think about those families out there, now Imagine them being your family what would you do? I know, why we should share our home, family, food & money when we need to feed and give to our own families. But this problem is big, bigger than big if we don't start helping what is the world going to look like in 10 years? We need to aim for life-saving, world changing salutations to make the world a better place.
Aims - We want your help to make the world a poverty free place to live in. What actions can we take to solve this together? Don’t you think the solution is for everyone to come together and do their part to stop this problem. We need to aim for everyone to have the basic needs covered that is food, water, shelter and clothing. Let our community be a poverty free place.
Act Together - We may not be able to make our world a poverty free place but we have the power of our voice and actions. This is our world and we choose our future. We can make different by starting here in our community. We can donate food and water, warm clothes and we can also teach them life skills.
Big Finish - Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime. That was written by Maimonides (Philosopher)
I think that this is a good sentence that everyone can learn from. That is you can give someone something or you can teach them a life skill on how to make or use.
