" 600 MILLION CHILDREN OF THE WHOLE WORLD LIVE IN THE MOST ABSOLUTE POVERTY ".

Of 6.000 million inhabitants of the world, 2.100 are not even major of age. Of them, more than the half lives in the most absolute poverty.

In spite of being chilling numbers those that the last report of the Unifec throws they seem to us far below of the reality since only assessing the children exploited slaves labourly the own OIT he speaks of between 300 and 400 millions.

The situation becomes much more dramatic bearing in mind that the own report speaks about a worsening of the same one in the last 20 years. He says, to a rhythm similar to that of the growth of the economy, about which he allows us to ask: for whom has the economy grown?

The report stops also without the victims of the illnesses counting as the AIDS, or the victims of the war since it does it in a different chapter.

It seems to us to be opportune to emphasize that in the decade of the 90, and as for minor victims of age the balance is 2 million dead men, 6 seriously hurt or permanently disabled millions, 1 million orphans or separated from his families, and 15 million refugees and displeased.

With this chilling information, can we possess his generous help? More unfortunate hope that your solidary hand ALL HAPPY CHILDREN is the door to take a bit from breath to they.
