Why?

Why is there kids going to bed hungry, when the amount of ice cream consummation in North America alone could end hunger?
Why do we have as much water as we could possibly want while 6,000 children die every day from disease from poor sanitation and dirty water?
Why does 14,000 to 17,500 people get trafficked year,only for men's selfish greed?
Why are 2.3 MILLION girl and women in the sex industry?
Why are there 27 million people in slaved when slavery is supposed to be abolished?
Why are 42 million baby but to rest innocently every year?
While all these things are going on we are more concerned about getting a cellphone. Or trying to impress him or her. Or oh my gosh what am i going to wear to youth?

We desperately needs to get involved and bothered about many issues.
I am begging you. No longer can we sit on our lazy butts and complain about how we never have enough money.

We need to get serious.

These are great questions to be posing, Alexandra. I'm proud to see that you are thinking about the real issues of life and what we can/should be doing...Jesus will help us to respond well.
