Our world population of 7 billion as a village of 100 people:
Here are our mother tongues:
12 speak Chinese
5 speak Spanish
5 speak Hindi or Bengali
5 speak English
73 speak the other 6,000 languages
Here is our wealth:
1 owns 40% of the wealth
6 own half the wealth
51 live on less than $2 a day
Here are our religious beliefs:
33 are Christian
22 are Muslim
14 are Hindu
7 are Buddhists
2 are Atheists
(And 33 believe in witchcraft, ghosts and aliens)
Here are our homes:
51 live in cities and can’t see the Milky Way
25 live in substandard housing or no home at all
And:
7 can’t read or write
10 have no job
11 have a vehicle
13 don’t have safe drinking water
14 are on Facebook
64 don’t have Internet access
If you woke up each day in this village, and knew each of the other 99 villagers personally, what would you do differently?
“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot. Together we can do great things.” ~ Mother Teresa
