I want to lend a helping hand to the world around me and this can only happen if the resources are in place. Coming into a contest like this reminds me of my heart cry where i could be able to make my own contribution to help those that are not able to help themselves. Looking around our society today, there are people that are living less than a dollar per day which is said to be poor. these are people that cannot afford the simplest things of life, many of them are those that are affected by this Boko Haram insurgency in North East Region of Nigeria. In this part of Nigeria, the level of poverty is so high that even the International Community are spending millions of Dollars just to see how to bring down this trend. One of the problem facing this Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp is malnutrition. See the Picture below in a camp called Monguno camp in Borno State
Going through the camp, I have discover that the camp is not conducive. The Government have done their best and good spirited individuals are also helping in reducing the pains that these people are going through. I am particularly concerned about their health, and I need to provide them with mosquito treated nets medical aid, food and clothing.

Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nigeria are having the worst of its time in this already economy downturn of Nigeria.
One of the major challenge of people in the IDPs camps lack of proper and adequate food, medication, sanitation and shelter.

Many of this people spend their night under the stars, many have lost their families, some do not even know if their fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters are dead or alive in camps elsewhere, so they just try to get through each day. Yet even that is difficult, because even getting clean water is a major problem. In this of the Country, Western education has decrease gradually, and terrorism has been the order of the day. Understanding that IDPs camp was created to help carter for those that has been affected by this insurgency and to bring these peoples that are affected by this to their normal life. As am writing this many are dying everyday because of these problems and I believe with your help we can rescue as many as we can.

We all should lend a helping hand to everyone around us. Then the world would be a better place. Nice post
What an important post. I’ve been on a few missions myself so I have been in disbelief about how bad it is. A few months ago I was sitting on my couch and realized I have no clue how clean water actually gets to my tap. I just use it and don’t think twice. How fortunate I am
It's sad! Seeing those pictures, reading those words...just sad. It can never be over-emphasised how much we need a changing change for the better.
Thanks brother!
Thank you sir, this is who we are and we are here be a voice to the voiceless, eye to the blind and ear to the deaf. With God on our side, we will make our world a better place.
I agree with you.
