| Team Profile |
We are racing to bring awareness to the plight of those stricken by poverty around the world and to encourage action. Canadians are some of the wealthiest people on earth as a result of living in a wealthy nation.
REFUSE to do Nothing!
We have a responsibility to those who are less fortunate to help them rise above their difficult circumstances.
Hunger:
-More than 800 million people go to bed hungry every day...300 million are children.
-One child every eight seconds dies from malnutrition.
-There is enough food, experience and technology to end the problem of world hunger...the difficulty is the inequitable distribution of food and wealth.
HIV/AIDS:
-HIV/AIDS is now the fourth largest global killer and the largest killer in Africa.
-Six young people are infected with HIV?the virus that causes AIDS?every minute.
-Anti-retroviral drugs help extend the lives of people living with AIDS. These drugs are readily available in Canada, but a year?s supply of the drugs in under developed countries can cost as much as 2.5 times a person?s annual income.
Child labour:
-Child labour is work done by children under the age of 15 that restricts or damages their physical, emotional, intellectual, social or spiritual growth as children.
-An estimated 246 million children are engaged in exploitative child labour, about half of them are working full time.
-8 million children work in the worst forms of child labour?prostitution, slavery, bonded labour and armed conflict.
-In developing countries, every fourth child lives in a family with an income of less than $1 a day. |
