2.7 billion people




The average Haitian citizen has $1.39 to spend each day, in India the average is $1.23. The statistics show that around 2.7 billion people live on less than $2 per day. You possibly received a small amount of money this past Sunday if you are a part of the Trinity family. You may still be asking yourself, what am I really supposed to do with only $1?

We are extremely rich here in the United States. OK....maybe you don't live in a super fancy home or drive a super fancy car, but most of you do have a car! And the majority of you reading this will sleep in a bed under a roof tonight. Heck...your on a computer reading this blog! We are rich.

So...what will you do with your 'measly' dollar or few dollars. Will you tell yourself, "I can't do anything with a dollar!" Or will you really begin to look at how the rest of the world lives and do something with it.

They say it only cost $1 to provide clean water to one person for one year.
They say it only cost about $1 a day to provide the basic needs for a child in a developing country.
They say that it only cost $1 to provide the needed medicine to immunize a child (which if they don't receive it will probably die before the age of 5).

You say it's only a $1!
