In December 2008, I went with a team to help children in Nicaragua's dump. The children are not educated and most die by age 30. A nearby donated facility with a kitchen, playground, church, and school is able to educate 220 primary kids for only $1500/month and 220 secondary kids for an extra $2000/month. So, for a mere $3500/month 440 kids could be removed from the dump and placed into a school. Let's get the word out, raise funds, and get these kids into school.

  • A reason

    In life there is a reason for everything. Who are you to interfere in the cycle of life. If everyone lived a hundred years the earth could not support human life. Be glad you are one of the lucky ones and let nature takes it's course. It's gods way.

      I'd like to see you watch someone die slowly. Then have to watch it again and again. Then question. Maybe someday, a sense of purpose will fill your life. And you'll question your own existence.
      Otherwise, there is no point. We'll all die in 70-90 years naturally. That small period of time is minuscule in the realm of eternity. Who cares if you die then or now. Why have the pain of life. Just end it now.
      Why? because, deep down inside everyone thinks there's a possibility of something more. Something we don't understand. I think you do to.

    • Out of Touch

      That's funny. Since YOU are really meshing with the natural way of things. Using your computer in your climate controlled domicile.
      And you're helped everyday by other humans. Helping and loving keeps our species productive. Can you even hunt and grow your own food for survival? I would bet not.
      Why do anything? What's the point? Some people believe in something greater then themselves, whether it be a God or some sense that a higher moral truth that exists. They believe in something.
      Why did you feel the need to comment? Did you want to 'help' me understand the fault in my ways. Your statement shows an overall lack of worldly experience and the mind of someone who has never had to 'struggle'. But I could very well be wrong. Even from a 'nature argument' it doesn't make sense. Which none of us can even bring up because we live if our soft-ass plush lives. We're so out of touch with our animal side it's not even funny. It's the result of our level of self realization.
