Appreciation



If we could turn the population of the earth into small community of 100 people,
keeping the same proportions we have today,
it would be something like this...

61 Asians
12 Europeans
8 North Americans
5 South Americans and the Caribbean
13 African
1 Oceania

50 women
50 men

47 live in an urban area

9 are disabled

33 are Christian
(Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Anglicans and other Christians)
18 are Muslims
14 are Hindus
16 are non-religious
6 are Buddhist
13 practice other religions

43 live without basic sanitation
18 live without an improved water source
6 people own 59% of the entire wealth of the community
13 are hungry or malnutrished

14 can't read
only 7 are educated at a secondary level

only 12 have a computer
only 3 have an internet connection

(More...)

We should appreciate what we have....
Really we shall!
