"I have spent the last four years watching people die." With that sentence, Stephen Lewis starts his book/ a series of lectures. This book shows us the difference between vision and reality. He talks about the eight Millennium Development Goals, which focus on educations, especially, and cutting poverty in half by 2015. Yet, Stephen Lewis admits to him not believing that these goals will happen do to countries not living up to their promises. He explains how everyone falls short of donating the amount of foreign aid they promised to the united nations. This even applies the eight top countries in the world. This is a very emotional book, full of truth about what life is like in a third world country and how we take everyday things for granted!
