The Global village Fund
PLEASE HELP THE GLOBAL VILLAGE FUND!
There are now more than six billion people in the world.
That’s a big number to understand, so let’s imagine that the world is a village with 100 inhabitants. They all live in different ways. They speak different languages and practise different religions, but they all want the same things: enough food and water, and a healthy, happy life.
Who lives in the global village? If there were 100 people, 61 of them would be Asian. 13 would be African and 12 would be European. 60 of them would speak Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese or Russian, and 40 would speak other languages. Some of the villagers would be too poor to go to school; 17 of them would be illiterate.
And if the conditions in the village reflected life in the real world, things would be very different for all the inhabitants.
Only seven people would have a computer. 76 people wouldn’t have a telephone or a TV.
The environment would also be different for everyone. 32 people would breathe polluted air, and 25 people wouldn’t have access to clean drinking water.
In the global village there should be enough food for everyone. There are 31 sheep, 23 cows and 189 chickens! But some of the villagers eat too much and they don’t share the food equally. So 60 people are often hungry, and only 24 people always have a fridge full of food.
Would you help the other villagers if you had the chance? Please be generous and donate to the Global Village Fund. We will use every penny to help people who are poor, hungry and ill. Help us to make our global village a better place for everyone!
