Speech on poverty in Africa and gratitude

If the whole world were listening to me – what would I say? That’s a pretty good question and it took a lot of time for me to find the answer.

I would talk about the message “think also of other peoples than yourself”.

That's because I think everyone should be thankful for our life’s in Denmark.

In my life I have House, family and friends. That’s a thing there is very important to be thankful for. Yes we all have problem with our life’s but that’s really small problems.

If we look at Africa. In Africa, we find many people with bigger problems.

In Africa, there is much poverty. People have no money, and no place to live. Since they do not have some money they can't all get food.

It is said that every 10 seconds a child dies of hunger. THAT’S A BIG PROBLEM.

The reason why I would talk about that is because it’s a very big problem! Poverty in Africa affects the whole world. Despite 40 years of development aid from the rich world, people in most countries in Africa are still among the worlds poorest, and there are no signs that it will change.
