Us and Them

Does it make you realise how good we have it here in Australia?

Absolutely. I feel so guilty when I find myself complaining about insignificant things. It really is a reality check when you think of
how people live in other parts of the world, but I do think that it would be hard to imagine unless you’ve seen it. I don’t think that people can be expected to really know just how good we have it here until they’ve seen how other people live.

About Global Poverty Monitor

Poverty. Famine. War. It's all around us, in the news, the papers and on every second documentary you see. But what is the real truth? Are things really as bad as we're told - or are they worse? And what really can be done? Some people think believe the only way to help is to donate money to large relief comporations, and let them decide where it is best spent. Others prefer a more personal approach - choosing which projects and causes to support. But are we really in a position to make such decisions? How do we determine who is needy and who isn't? Read about these issues and more from someone who is just as confused as the rest of us, but who is determined to find out.
