  • There are 11.6 million children in sub-saharan Africa who have been left orphans as a result of Aids
  • 1.1 billion people in the developing world don't have access to an adequate water supply
  • 1500 women die PER DAY while giving birth
  • Half of the world's 2.2 billion children live below the poverty line
  • Approximately 1.2 million children are trafficked EACH YEAR
  • Finally: 10.5 million children in the developing world die before their fifth birthday
And we sit in our comfortable houses, or we buy that second car, or we drink that extra large frappuccino, or we go on our overseas holidays, or we give our children birthday parties with bouncy castles, or we buy the fancy camera with all the extra features, or we fly to another city for a two hour meeting....

And we can still look each other in the eye like it doesn't matter.
