My Pain .....my family.....my hope

I don't feel pain when i get hurt ,poor or anything soo bad,they may hurt but it seems other things hurt me more.It is paramount when i hear mother ready to sell her baby just for survival,when i see a man walking with a leg infected with elephantiasis,yet feels soo comfortable,when a man with a swollen jaw with a diameter of about 10cm sits by Novotel every morning to beg for money,When school going kids sell water by the road side,when a yoghurt seller chases a van just to sell one yoghurt.When a 13 year old is described as a hardened criminal and 15 year old a queen in prostitution.We are family 'abi' yes we are so why should we watch a neighbor go astray? It hurt soo much when you see these people go through all these and wish there was a way.But i ask myself what can i do to assist,how can i help my colleagues?is it just about money,is there anything i can offer? Its so much pain to hear of drowning of people on the volta lake virtually every week yet we rarely hear of any effort to provide these communities with a modern ferry or mini ship that help transport them to places of convinience. These same people try so hard to feed by transporting food from these places to the cities yet die as a result of travelling challenges,what a pitty!.What other means could they have used?yet we are quick to sponsor great events such as beauty pageants,music shows,etc.. how many of these villages have good classroom blocks,clinics,libraries,good drinking water and all the other good things we yearn for in the city?Is it because am not in their shoes?but thinking of it again i feel the fortunate are just a little selfish.sorry to say so but thats just my opinion.How i wish farmers will also be selfish for a short while and there will be no importation of crops. How can we help in bridging this gap.How can we as individuals or societies bring about a change in a particular challenged community?Are we ready to help? 1.Lets agree that there are problems. 2.Let take a single problem of utmost priority. 3.Lets raise funds. 4.Lets make a change to that community 5.Let it be sustainable. 6.Let see them smile 7.Let give hope to them as a family. It always begin somewhere.Imagine every church,mosque,school,community,company and individuals decides to assist in solving a problem of health,education,housing,water etc.....imagine if i start,guess how it will be if we all lend a helping hand,how much more if its a team work?#wearegamechangers.....so i start....you start...we start.... We can all cant get to the top,but we can help one another in one way or the other to get there one day with a difference...
