worldwide problems
Being here in America, we can say that we are pretty spoiled compared to other parts of the world. I find it interesting that we feel that we are in a crisis, we have a ton of problems while there are many other countries out there that are still worse than us and they are probably feeling the effects of everything going on worldwide as well. Some of them can't even get clean water, while were worried about not being able to afford a huge house or something that we don't really need. Our worldwide relations don't appear to be as strong as we like to think they are as it seems like when we are in trouble, we try and find ways to help out ourselves more and more and forget about the other countries, knowing that we are blessed here and are better off than many people around the world. We have beds to sleep on, a roof over our head, food and water still and the neccesities to survive while others go day by day trying to find a way to survive.

The Water = Hope Campaign "focuses on building awareness, promoting advocacy, and raising funding for clean water initiatives." Their website reveals how one out of seven people do not have water that is safe to drink, but also states that the problem can be solved. A greater U.S. involvement could help "save hundreds of thousands of lives in low-income countries." If the campaign can continue to influence a strong commitment from volunteers, then their effectiveness will only increase.
