Here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: "I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter and love and affection."
If a child on the street who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy?
(Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. - The Environmental Children's organization)
ブラジルで、家のないストリートチルドレンと出会い、私たちはショックを受けました。ひとりの子どもが私たちにこう言いました。
「ぼくが金持ちだったらなぁ。もしそうなら、家のない子すべてに、食べ物と、着る物と、薬と、住む場所と、やさしさと愛情をあげるのに。」
家もなにもないひとりの子どもが、分かちあうことを考えているというのに、すべてを持っている私たちがこんなに欲が深いのは、いったいどうしてなんでしょう。
