What if I had been born in Africa

     How would my life be impacted if I were born in a developing country like Africa. Being born in a country like Africa  would be a life that I couldn't even imagine. Having my mother and sister have to walk many miles and hours in a dangerous place would be unthinkable, and then when they get back its water that can't be drunk without having many negative sideaffects. It would make my life totally different, not knowing when the next meal would come from, or whether I would have something to drink, and the water that I did drink would upset my stomach or maybe even lead me down the road of death. It's something that would be pretty scary.
       To help with this problem that they are having you can give just twenty dollars to build a well in village, that's it, not only will it give these people water but will open so many doors for the Africans, they will be able to use the time the spent getting water in school, then eventually they might get a job or even start a business. It's a great opportunity that they will have if they can have a well in their village.
       As a Christian my role would be to donate money to help build wells in a village. That would help not just with water but for education especially for women and girls. Also it would be to send Bibles and bible studies to them so that they could also know of the living water, along with the physical water.
