1-Conquering poverty and disease must be a global effort. 2-If the nations of the world fail to lend a helping hand when tragedy strikes an individual country, the disastrous repercussions can spread globally. 3-Without outside funds supporting a country's economy during times of economic disaster, that country’s infrastructure might be at risk of a complete collapse. 4-When one country's economy falls, a domino effect can occur. 5-Thus, the global economy suffers when an individual country's economy falls. 6-Similarly, when disease ravages a country, that country's ability to care for its citizens becomes almost impossible. 7-Without emergency medical supplies from other countries and medical assistance from global organizations such
