I agree with the fact that the Third World countries have problems of poor education and sanitation, but we can not just say that the problems will be resolved one day. We need to take action now. We need to support groups like CIDA , and help them improve the education of other countries so people can help themselves so they can create their own jobs and not starve to death. We as a human race should help each other so we can all prosper and grow together. It sounds lame, but it is far better than ignoring these problems and waiting to hear about more tragedies on the news. Saying that the problems will be solved 'one day' is not good enough because by then the problems will be to great for anyone to stop. If we do not start to resolve these problems soon , there may not be a future for these countries to enjoy life and live in harmony. One reason why we are participating in this conference is to represent the Third World countries and identify the problems so we can resolve them.
