Real.Life.Exhibit
We went to Real.Life.Exhibit. It is put on by Medical Teams International. It shows people what it’s like to experience a natural disaster. They have different scenes and all different pictures and movies. They also had a lot of facts. Every 3.6 seconds a child dies from a preventable illness. 1 in 4 people in the world don’t have access to medical care. More than half the world lives on less than two dollars a day. These facts plus more were all around the exhibit. They show all kinds of natural disasters. Floods, tsunami, fire, earthquake, etc. A wave in Sri Lanki was 30 feet high and a wave in Indonesia was 75 to 90 feet high. On January 12, 2010, an 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti and in less than a minute life for many Haitians collapsed. It killed 225,000 people and injured 300,000 people. Over 1 million people live in tent camps. More than 300,000 children were used as soldiers, in the past ten years 2 million child soldiers have died. Half the worlds hospital beds are filled with people suffering from waterborne diseases. These and many facts were shown there at Real.Life.Exhibit. It was pretty sad to see how lots of the world lives. We don’t know what it’s like but Real.Life.Exhibit can help us understand a little more.
