Planet Earth has a 10% surplus per capita goods and services for its entire population of about seven billion. Yet, of the 4.4 billion who live in developing countries:

* 20% are undernourished and an equal number don't get past grade 5
* Nearly 60% live without basic sanitation.
* Nearly 33% are without safe drinking water.
* 20% live beyond the reach of modern health services.
* 25% lack adequate housing.
* And even in the USA, about 12 million families risk hunger, and on any night some 700,000 people are homeless

I'm a Quebecer from,Canada. I'm currrently employed full-time as a Counsellor in a group-home catering to adults with chronic, acute psychiatric problems, where I've been since '89. I've worked in various areas of the social services and related areas since 1961 thereby seeing human want and misery in various dimensions.
