Are we a Blind and Deaf nation?

Let us not turn a blind eye to what is happening to our world or should I make more relevant and say in South Africa? We need to place responsibility on ourselves and fight for what we see is killing children in our country. We must have the guts to question whether we have done enough for the less fortunate. Let us stop talking about development and start developing a moral obligation to our own citizens. We have the ability to do so many things and as a unity we can fight for a better cause. How long can we tolerate the cries of many poor people in our country? Do we need another xenophobia attack to make us place our eyes to the poor who are firing up to be helped? Poverty should not be a common word in our country. We should be talking about a free country for all. I know that there are many people who are working and helping the poor but more hands are better than few. Our negligence to the poor will soon come back and haunt us. We are morally obligated and we should not turn away to those who need us the most. Tomorrow is world food, so please help those who are starving by donating food to shelters and NGOs.
