“The world’s three richest people own more than the combined gross domestic product of the 48 poorest nations.”
Wow — I just read this fact off of one of the posters available for download at the link in the post. That blows my mind.
And I love this quote. (I love the whole quote section.):
“God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.”
GREAT link with lots of resources. I hope everyone is clicking on it. 🙂
