THE TRANSCRIPTION

Hello everybody. This is our last oral presentation and we’ve chosen to talk about a very important sociality aspect. We think the people doesn’t matter so much about it and we want to give you some information about that.

We think that childhood should be a happy time for everybody. Children use to spend their time playing with their friends, enjoying every favorite toy, even studying or doing their homework from school.
But too many children in the developing world, spend all their time fighting to survive, working, without much hope for a secure, productive or fun life. Six million children who are under five years old die every year as a result of hunger.
All these poor children have to see many horrible aspects of life, which we hope not to see never during our life.
They are used to see the dead of most of their relatives, friends and so one.
Fifty-seven million people around the world died last year, ten and halve million of them were children who were less than five years old. The majority of these children- some ninety-eight percent- were in developing nations. They died because of hunger and other illnesses.

These are some of the most important diseases that we can find in those poor countries; pneumonia, malaria, diarrhea and malnutrition are four of the biggest killers of children- yet all of them are treatable or preventable illnesses. These diseases become mortal when they are combined with poverty, war, poor sanitation, inadequate health care and insufficient preventive measures.

For those children who survive childhood, the possibility to have a secure and happy future is still filled with obstacles. Children in developing nations have limited access to education, which limits their opportunities to get a successful job.
Social, cultural and economic investments help one hundred twenty-one million children, especially girls to go to school. However, their parents haven’t the same opinion, as they want their children to cooperate at home or even find a job to help with their family income.

In these developed countries, only fourteen percent of the girls arrive at the secondary school, a education that is obligatory here, in our county.
Some voluntary organizations fight versus the poverty and they create many education projects in poor communities.
Many of the developed countries in the world are the result of a war. And appart from that there are many children in the world who are fighting in these armed conflicts, or they are victims of them. In the last decade, more than two millions children have died as a direct result of armed conflict. Three hundred thousand children soldiers are exploited in the war in over thirty counties around the world.
You can think that their parents are the guilty but you have to know in what situation are they living. They need help to have some money, if not they can died because of hunger.
Two hundred forty-six million children are working nowadays. They work in very hard conditions and two million children have to work in the commercial sex trade.
These are some of the real result of the poverty.
