- Some 854 million people worldwide lack enough to eat; 820 million of them are in developing countries1.
- Hunger and poverty claim 25,000 lives every day — most of those are children1.
- Every five seconds, a child dies because of hunger1.
- An estimated 11.4 million children have been orphaned due to AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa2.
Those are just a few of the terrible reasons why at BookGateway.com 100% of our profits go to charity. I have children and I suspect that many of the visitors here also have children. They most likely go to bed full every night - a happinstance due in large part because of where we were born. But if I were a father in many places in the world, these statistics could very well wear the names of my children.
Every five seconds my daughter dies.
When I think about these problems and try to put myself into the situations I find that I just don't have the ability to comprehend the poverty that exists just an airplane trip away. That's why we at BookGateway.com have decided to raise support for a child affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa through
World Vision.
Won't you consider joining with us? Visit
BookGateway.com/About for infomation on how. But if you'd like to get right to it, visit World Vision today and
sponsor a child yourself.
Together we can make a difference!
