They Live In Misery — All The Kids Want Is Lighting

You don’t have to cry when you read this article, but it may well — briefly — increase your awareness of how many tens or hundreds of millions (or billions? who knows?) live on Planet Earth in the year 2014:

It was Children’s Day in Taiwan on April 4th, and while many children probably wished for new toys and games or a day of fun and play, a pair of underprivileged siblings living in Nantou County of Taiwan wished for nothing more than a really bright light so that they could study, and for it to rain less so that they could sleep on dry beddings.

Making a home out of a forsaken pig-shed, the Chen siblings struggle to get by with their parents’ meagre salaries; their father only recently getting a job as a vegetable truck driver after a long period of unemployment, and their mother, who has lost sight in her left eye, earning only NT$100 (US$3.30) a day washing hair for customers at a hair salon.
