If you're a person who would save the drowning child, here are some ways you can help:
- Donate to UNICEF. According to their site, "1.4M Children are Facing Famine in South Sudan, Nigeria, Somalia & Yemen".
- Spread awareness. Build a community of people who are willing to fight for this cause.
- Do the research. There are many, many programs out there to defeat poverty both locally and abroad. Choose the best one for you.
In the end, it really doesn't matter how you choose to help, as long as you do something. Don't let a child drown just for a pair of shoes.
