"According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”
These are quoted from http://www.globalissues.org/article/26/poverty-facts-and-stats. I read these two facts and felt a pain inside of me. While we are worried about what people think of us, the clothes we wear, and how we act, these kids just want to survive. When I hear that 22,000 kids die each day due to poverty, it makes me think what we really could do to help them.
"Almost two in three people lacking access to clean water survive on less than $2 a day, with one in three living on less than $1 a day."

I think it is so sad and surprising that almost 2 in 3 people don't have access to clean water. It really shows us just how lucky we are
