Problems Faced by Poor Children

In Hong Kong, we are very fortunate. We have nearly everything we need. However, natural disasters cause a lot of damage that makes a large number of people in different countries have a lot of problems. Today, I will tell you about different problems faced by poor children all around the world.

1. Housing
In Hong Kong, most of the people have houses. But in many poor countries, the people do not have houses. In Bangladesh, there was a strong typhoon. Strong wind and heavy rain destroyed most of the houses. In Haiti, a million people need to live in crowded camps since a big earthquake destroyed their houses.

2. Education
In Hong Kong, nearly all children can go to school. Unfortunately, many children cannot go to school. In Pakistan, the rebels destroyed schools. Therefore, fifty million children can't go to school. In Shanxi, there are very few schools and they are lack of stationery and textbooks so the pupils learn in a harsh environment.

3. Food and Water
In Hong Kong, we have plenty of food and water. However in some countries, the poor children are lack of water and food. In Guizhou, severe droughts and too little rainfall makes the ground cracks so plants cannot grow. There is very little food for the people to eat. In Pakistan, war and flooding makes many people need to queue up for food and water.

Many children in different countries need our help. I decided to put on a charity show to raise money for them. On the stage, my classmates will perform dramas, magic shows and other performances. Please call 6876 5432 for further details.
