Poverty in Africa vs Poverty in Brunei!

Today April 9^th, our teacher taught us about poverty in Africa . She told us about the environment , possessions , appearance and feelings of children of the poorer countries in Africa. As we know that place is very poor. you about the children around there ;)

First of all , I want to tell you , about the surroundings of  the poorer parts of Africa, the place is dirty , there is no place for cooking and the children are homeless, so there is no place for them to cook, sleep and relax. Most of the children live under a bridge and at the side of the road. They wear old clothes. They don’t have money to buy new ones. They don’t have enough food to eat, that’s why they are skinny. At the same time , they don’t have medicine.

Now what they need are houses to live, healthy food, medicine, clean water, new clothes to wear and education.

Lastly I want to tell you , poverty in Brunei. As we know Brunei is the one of the richest countries, not like Republic of Somalia. So nowadays, children in Brunei , they always have what they  want, like laptop, ipod and etc, but most of them never appreciate what they have. We must grateful of what we have.
