Because I am young, I am not aware of everything that has happened in the world in the last 50 years, but lately, I have heard a lot of bad news; violence is present in daily situations, resources are scarce and natural disasters had caused the deaths of thousands of people.
The Tsunami in Asia (in 2004) caused 288,000 deaths; thousands of people are still missing, and millions of them lost their home.
The earthquake in Haiti caused a masive lost of everything; cities, families, schools, and all the things that were present in that zone.
Then, I heard about the earthquake in Chile and I was shocked; I realized that we don't have to wait 8, or 5 years to "expect" these kind of disasters; a lot of things can happen, and we can't avoid them.
We have been lucky, we were born in a place where non of these situation have been present, but that is not a reason to think that we won't ever suffer a thing like that and that is why we MUST find a way to help them because maybe someday we will need that help too.
We are one world, we are part of a whole and we have the responsilibity of support others when they need it.
