Just reading the news can open your eyes to the horror, misery and pain some people have to live with.

I recently watched the movie Argo, and it really brought me back down to planet earth, away from the grief, pain and hunger of some countries.
Water, food, shelter and love are the basic things you need to live and survive, but some countries such as India, Iraq and parts of Africa don't even have these basic requirements.

When I was five we had a cleaning woman from Iraq. One day, she brought her son with her, as he was sick and off school. The boy told me and mum what it was like living in Iraq. He said that just to get to school he had to hide, creep round and pray to god that he wouldn't be shot be snipers.
The boy said that it was horrifying. That someone in his family could be the next to die (yes, some of his family had already been killed).

The sick thing is that kids say it would be cool to be in a place like Iraq, that it would be awesome to be in a war. Maybe we should just take a step back, and see how lucky we are.
