fortunate you really are? My kids and I had the privilege to review "If the World Were a Village," and we were amazed, and saddened by different statistics. This DVD is about populations, and if the world was just 100 people...these are what the categories/numbers would be for each lifestyle, religion, fed, animals, etc.
Being a home educator, I was highly impressed with this DVD. It is made for children, and really helps them see the world more simplified. Here are some of the statistics that we got from the video:
If the world were a village of 100 people:
32 would be Christian, 1 of 13 would be Hindu, 12 follow folk religions, 6 follow Buddah, 1 is Jewish and 15 don't practice anything. Money is an important thing. If the funds were divided equally, people would live comfortably. However, 60 people make middle wages, most people do what they can to make ends meet, and the poorest make barely enough to survive! 24 of 100 people always have enough to eat, 16 go hungry sometimes, and 34 people are always hungry! That is just sad and devastating. This video makes us (our family) want to go help people. I think that is what the goal of this video is...to encourage people to help one another and help take care of each other. My kids were shown that life in other parts of the world is very different from their own. I think this video was made very well, and I recommend it for families, especially those who home educate, or are educators.
