So peoples you can keep trying to get me to do the Ice Bucket Challenge – however I will not be wasting water because of the following: The amount of money already raised is now $30,000,000.00. And I think that enough is enough when it comes to wasting water, think of other countries that are in need of more than just clean water, but food and housing and better governments and policing for the children who are homeless and in need of protection . Below is a little STAT I pulled from the internet, and if everyone was to start donating just $2.00 dollars and raising money as quickly as they have been for the Ice Bucket challenge I’m sure we can help reach the percentage of people around the world suffering quicker that 2015: Worldwide, the number of hungry people has dropped significantly over the past two decades, but 842 million people continue to struggle with hunger every day. 1.2 billion people still live in extreme poverty — on less than $1.25 per day. Each year, 2.6 million children die as a result of hunger-related causes. But progress has been made. There has been a reduction of more than 34 percent in global hunger since 1990. The target of halving the percentage of people suffering from hunger by 2015 is possible. However, there are still an estimated 868 million people who are undernourished and more than 100 million children under age five who are undernourished and underweight Not to forget alone that 18 Million are starving in Africa In India 3000 children DIE everyday and from all over the would 22 million children are caught up in child trafficking rings.
