I believe that it is important for each person to do what they can do to ensure the sustainability of our world, we should not keep quiet. We should share, get others educated and get others to be as passionate as we are because collectively we can do much more to make the change we all desire.

I believe everyone deserves to have good food to stay alive and no-one should be unable to afford everything needed to be able to stay alive and and be well. Also good health is a pre-requisite to be able to study or engage in meaningful work to earn a living therefore it is important too.

Zero hunger because a well fed society is a productive society. Quality education because education is an equaliser.An educated society is an informed one. Gender equality because everyone regardless of gender has the responsibility of positively contributing to society. No one should be stopped.

Growing up in a developing nation exposes you to the hardships countless people and indeed families face. Current uneven wealth distribution and compromised political/social systems means that there is very little for a family exposed to poverty to actually live a just and fair life.
