Chanda John Chimba wrote ;
Each day many children die from different diseases, hunger , bad water and lack of proper medication .
Many of these kids die not because they want to or their right time has come but because life has given them no choice but to let go , if society puts its hands together we can surely avoid and prevent such deaths , these kids have a wide range of dreams Of becoming better citizens and providing service to our county.
...
But these dreams are short lived and remain only as a dream , the Change we want to see is within us , if we put our hands together we can certainty make the lives of the less privileged kids a better life by providing the little necessities they need to grow their dreams .
Let us all remember to help the needy and under privileged in our society, change begins with us and help starts from us .
WE CAN DO IT .
