I am taking this course FNH 355 about world nutrition problem. The professor told us many facts that many disasters happened on earth without our notice.
The tsunami victims got more than $1000 funding per person to rebuild their home but victims of another storm or tsunami in africa only got $27 funding per person.
Then she quoted " News are about something that are new" from a newspaper editor. Somehow that sentence struck me at that time.
There are many many things that we know it's happening but we all turn blind to it. As a Christian, we should care about others at all times. However, I guess many of us still ignore the things happening around us. oh well, at least I am like that more than half of the time.
We are the lucky ones on earth. We got to learn about god; we got to live happily; we have a safe home; we have enough to eat and clear water to drink. Think about the other side of the world, many people are struggling at the edge of live and death. We should definitely do something.
I am planning to sponsor a child. Anyone interested? I want to find some organization other than world vision. Any suggestion?
Let's do it together!!

i was thinking about that couple months ago, but never got the excuse to do it : |
I am taking this class too but it's the 5:00pm section. ;) The facts she presented us really trigger a new perspective to look at today's world. It's the weak and poor who need help. but we tend to pay attention to the strong and wealthy; it's because they are more "attrective". Time to rethink the world. It's a good course to take as elective! :)
