Just a snippet...

Is the floor in your home just dirt? Because if your floor is anything other than dirt, you’re in the top half of the world’s population.

I wonder if your home has a roof, a door, windows and more than one room? If it does, you fall into the top 20% of the world’s population. If you have a fridge – you’re in the top 5%.

And if you have a car, a microwave, DVD player, computer and your toilet has a door… you’re in the top 1% in the world.

For 99% of the world’s people life has no luxury, and a third of our world live in desperate poverty.

But poverty is not a statistic, it’s a person.
