Every 3 seconds Apple sells one of its products around the world...
Every 3 seconds a cigarette is lit...
Every 3 seconds a baby is born.....
Every 3 seconds an identiy is stolen.....
Every 3 seconds a child dies from hunger!
How could all this happen in one world, in one planet.. How is it possible that kids in african 3rd world countries are all dying due to the lack of FOOD! while we throw excess food in the garbage. How are we able to sleep at night full knowing that half across the globe a little kid is dying at that particular moment of starvation. How could we all sit in a table having second servings while a tortured mother has the hardest decision, by choosing "one" of her pleading kids with food only one tonight gets a small piece of a mud cookie.
For all of you wondering whats a mud cookie well here are the ingredients: Mud, shortening and salt!!
When I first heard it I was shocked!! here is a video showing how in haiti which is the poorest island in the west! you can find more information in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqAF9K39PXw so for Muslim's now is the best time to be thankful and appreciate what we got for now is the holy month of Ramadan, other than a worship for God I believe God wanted us to walk in other people's shoes, the torn old worn out shoes of the poor and the needy, to feel other people's pain of hunger and thirst, it makes us appreciate what we got and defiantly be more compassionate and humble next time someone asks you to spare some change.
"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish" -Mother Teresa-
