My Speech



Starving, Vunularable, Malnourished,Unhealthy children do you have any idea what I am talking about.


I am talking about World Vision. World Vision an organisation it all started between 1947 and 1950 with Dr Bob Pierce.


World vision helps people have food water and shelter because their government doesn’t have the investment and some of the government's ban food. World vision helps with food and shelters also many more things.


It is happening it’s not just happening in Syria and Pakistan it’s happening all over the world even in New Zealand. More than half the world’s children that’s more than a ( billion children between the ages of 2 and 17) experience some type of violence every year.



That's why schools around the world do the 40 famine to raise money for food, shelter and clothes and many more things. World Vision works in some of the poorest countries in the world. Dr Bob Pierce resigned from the organization in 1967.


They get overall 13.7 percent from fundraising and 81.1 percent goes directly to the children and the families.



When you do the 40 hour famine it raises money for the children and their families. If you raise $20 dollars it will help a family carry and store two large clean containers. $60 can provide essentials to an unaccompanied child/ren. $120 dollars can feed a family for an entire month. $250 dollars can help a refuge to start up an activity like a hairdressing salon.



New Zealand accepts 750 refugees but it increased in July 2018 to 1000. Germany accepts the most refugees in the world. According to the recent data Germany accepts 1.4million refugees a year.



Australia accepts 17,555 refugees a year.This is the recent data from 2015 and 2016. Australia has an Island called Manus island it has 43,000 refugees and asylum people there. Manus island is 570 km away Papua New Guinea.




People said Manus island is closed since October 31 2017. There are also two other islands called Christmas Island and Nauru Island. They are also in the Australian territory.





World vision shouldn’t have to be an organization in some countries because som of these countries are wealthy countries politicians and big business companies take all the money. I challenge you to sponsor a child online. I got my facts from the World Vision site.
