poverty

You may not think as yourself as being rich

Think again

I read an old midwifery today issue from 2010 which struck home with me being here in Africa

watching people get on with their everyday lives. It said, “You may not consider yourself as being rich yet only 10% of the world’s population own a car so if you do own a car that puts you in the top 10% of riches people in the world. It’s the same if you have access to clean drinking water, education or a trained midwife.” So next time your feeling poor remember what poverty really is.
