I bump that post because I think it deserves many looks.
Today I found myself thinking a lot to these people and reflected about how lucky we are,how lucky to be able to worry about our chess moves,about the soccer world cup,about all these little stupid things that compared to such disgraces make us look all silly.
Maybe my words are banal and stupid but please take a look and reflect about the opportunities that we have while most of those kids will never have.
Originally posted by pinkthunderI'm speechless. Like Rav said, how can more people be interested in World Cups and Olympic Games when there are sights like this to be beheld in places that most people don't know exist.
Another user on this site showed me this. I had to share it. Beautiful, yet hard to watch. You need Macromedia's flash player.

England has a budget of something like £250 million for its hosting of the Olympics, imagine what could be done with that money to at least help create a better environment for these people to live out their lives, to give them an education and to try and take some steps towards improving the medical care available to them.
