I am Lucky to be a New Zealander becuase

I am Lucky to be a New Zealander Because

We have a fresh supply of food, water and fresh air but as many other countries the air is polluted and the water is to so it's hard for other people from many different countries to drink water and breathe. Many little children around the world starve and have to drink  dirty filthy water and could die any second or even right now. And many children have to climb on wooden ladders and go across zip lines without being secured on and some kids even don't go to school.

In New Zealand we don't have a lot of killing, shooting or a big war but many countries do. Such as Syria, America, Iraq   and many different countries. In syria a lot of families struggle to keep their children safe and other people because isis are planting bombs polluting the water and killing a lot of people and many families have lost their lives all around the world because of war.

Families don't have houses like us the have to make their house out of sticks, wood ,stone and other things that they can find. Families don't have blankets and they dont have a lot of clothes which it is hard for their families to keep them warm even some children get hypothermia from how freezing they are.  They can also get a disease and get really sick from the coldness.

In New Zealand you can go to school without paying a lot of money and get free milk and dental checks But as in other schools you can't. Parents have to pay a lot of money for their children to go school but most parents can't because they are poor. And kids don't get free milk or free dental checks like us it is really hard for them growing up and some children don't make it.

Don't just care about yourself care about others to think about what other children, People around the world  have to live with. Help people with struggle and be grateful on what you have. Families struggle to care for their children and protect them and to give them food  water, warm clothing, shelter but they try very hard to protect their family. I think every family should get fresh water, a supplies of food and warm clothing and a proper home I think that war is just horrible and cruel. I am proud and lucky to be a New Zealander and I am very thankful.
