IMF - World Bank

Was doing some work in Orchard Road Singapore about a week ago and came across some bill boards that were showing some interesting pictures ... it suddenly woke me up to what is really happening around the world and made me glad to be in my country - Singapore. Tear rolled down my eyes as I walk down the shopping district.

"Imagine Asia without Provety

What can you buy with one dollar?

300 Millions africans live on one dollar a day"

"Imagine a world without poverty

Have you called home laterly?

In Yemen, 92 out of 1000 people have phones

In Singapore 978 out of 1000 people have mobile phones"

"Imagine a world without poverty

Can you count to 30?

Every 30 seconds an african child dies of Malaria"

"Imagine a world without poverty

How long do you expect to live?

In Zambia life expectancy is only 36 years of age

In Singapore life expectancy is 79 years"

I guess we should really look around us as we live each day and really count our blessings for what we have.
