If everyone cared
About what happens
On the other side of the world
In countries needing of aid
Nobody would die
If everyone cared
To lend a hand
To give to the needy, and throw away our selflessness
To seek out what we can do to help
Nobody would be sad
If everyone cared
To visit a place
Where they could give and give
To give them food, such as 1560 grains of rice
Then nobody would starve
If everyone cared
About orphans on that side of the world
Who lost their parents, because of hunger
Who only want love and care
. . . . . . . Then no body would be left behind.
I did the best as I could on the site, I was able to donate 1560 grains of rice. Not enough to fill five bowls, but I will continue to do this every morning for at least twenty minutes. Donate now, to save lives, be one of those, who cared.

the right message
You have the right message. It is true if people didnt turn away, cause they are scared to feel, and actually try to do something, Then its a start.. this world as to change, now its killing children not by famine or natural causes.. But humans... Killing for what???
Thankyou for sharing you are a couragous person who has the rare ability to walk your talk. Bless this world for people like you...

it is sad that not everyone cares....

as i was reading this it brought me to a song by nickleback called if everyone cared. i was playing it as i about killed my self and then kevin walked through the door and i realized that he did care. not everyone cares which is a bad thing cause then ppl like me feel like they have to die to get life over with. but there are ppl who do care and it makes life alot easier for us to live. if everyone did care then we would not be at war, and our world would be a better place than before.

Thank you for donating and for entering. People would still die, it would just not be from such horrific circumstances, which is certainly something we should be trying to achieve.
Good luck x -
Nobody would be left behind,
True; but the real point is that, while all humans die, at least if people cared there would be no death from neglect. -
