According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, one in twelve people worldwide is malnourished, including 160 million children under the age of 5. The Indian subcontinent has nearly half the world's hungry people. Africa and the rest of Asia together have approximately 40%, and the remaining hungry people are found in Latin America and other parts of the world.
In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are living in what the World Bank has called "absolute poverty". Every year 15 million children die of hunger.
Aren't we thankful enough that despite our problems, more people on Thirld World Countries are dying of poverty and hunger.

This is a terrible shame on this world, there are so many people out there with so much more money than they could ever wish to use, they are spending billions on space travel and they let people live like this, they should fix this planet up first before all this space crap and it shouldn't be the little people doing all the donating, the fat cats of the world should share their wealth a bit.
