But we cannot forget that these children are wasting away in a disaster that we could - and should - have prevented” she added, “The UN estimates that every $1 spent in prevention saves $7 in emergency spending.” (Dvorak, 2011).

We live in a country where all children go to school to gain an education and 25% of them will go onto receive some type of college degree. Compare this to low-income countries, in which children are 16 times as likely to die prior to their fifth birthday (Nickitas, Middaugh & Aries, 2016).

In third world countries, not only is there a lack of access to food, there are also a lack of clean water, clothes, and shelters. Some children are even forced to sleep on the streets because they are so poor. Moreover, these children are used as labor in poorer countries and are forced to endure long, strenuous hours in dangerous conditions (Hansen). These conditions are certainly not suitable for children and will traumatize them as they grow older. Children living in harsh environments, especially third world countries, experience such atrocious lives that it is nearly impossible not to feel sympathy for them.
