According to UNICEF
More than 1.3 billion people live in extreme poverty I.e less than $1.25 a day.
1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty.
22,000 children die each day due to poverty.
More than 750 million people lack adequate access to clean drinking water.
The stack reality before us is that the world is in dear need of help. Negativity has taken its toll on people and the resultant effects are increasing rate of suicide and suicidal attempts.
Things are falling apart all around the world. Effect of recent series of hurricanes are still being felt, radicalization and terrorism are becoming norms, extreme hunger and poverty on the high side, threat and pangs of war!
Negativity everywhere!
In the midst of all these negativities, you can put a smile on someone's face. As a matter of fact,
What some people need to survive in a day is less than 0.2SBD
If you and I will take it upon ourselves to spread positive vibes around us in our communities, this world will be a better place.
This is Christmas season. It's all about LOVE.
You can take the advantage of the season to practically spread positive vibes. Yes we can do it!
No matter how small or insignificant, just make a determination to put smile on someone's face and you will be glad you did.
This is where I spent my last Christmas, in a very remote area where there is no communication network. We took clothes and conducted free medical check with drugs. The villagers could not hide their joy.
I also love the report I read from @tojukaka's recent Post of steem up Delta and Christmas give away. where @ejemai, @gbenga, @ehiboss, @nairadaddy, @destinysaid, @ewuoso and host of others invaded Delta State Nigeria, to touch more lives
Let's all take advantage of this Yuletide to put smiles of people face and see the ripple effect of love and positivity.
