GLOBAL HEALTH PROBLEMS KNOCKED
VOLUNTEER MEDICAL MISSIONS ANSWER!

	The world is in chaos. The wars between countries with rivalry, the  
famine, the economical instability of countries due to the global  
financial crisis, and the worst of all, poverty, these are the  
maladies that kills millions of lives of our poor fellowmen around the  
world. So with this scenario, does the world have come to its end?

	Many people are getting bothered about the things that are happening  
around them. They are thinking if these are already signs of the  
world’s destruction. But one thing is for sure, that these things are  
the result of man’s too much pride and man’s crooked-minds, his  
greediness, discontentment, and excessive obsession with money and  
power. That is why we have the so called PROBLEM.

	Problem, as defined in the dictionary (Wikipedia), is an obstacle  
which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or  
purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet  
unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual  
becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and  
what is desired. From the given definitions, we can conclude that we,  
the human beings created by God, are the architects of all the  
problems in this world. 	Yes, we are the responsible ones for all the  
existing problems, but still we are victims.

	As the world is gradually poisoned by these problems, we the  
inhabitants also suffered from our own mistakes. A perfect example is  
the alarming health problems that are spreading all over the world and  
according to an article (www.globalissues.org), over 26,500 children  
died around the world. The reasons, the silent killers such as  
poverty, hunger, diseases and illnesses, and other related causes.  
What a tragedy, that is why many organizations were established to  
stop this problem. These organizations whether non-profit or  
government-based have the same goal and that is to stop such problems  
before it’s too late. Usually, they go to deprived communities in  
different parts of the world to conduct volunteer medical missions,  
promote livelihood programs, and educate the inhabitants through  
trainings and symposiums.

	Thanks to these philanthropic groups because though they cannot  
eliminate all the problems in this world but at least they can do  
something to lessen it. Their kind acts like volunteer medical  
missions and other charitable programs can be nothing in other’s eyes  
but it is meaningful in God’s. How glad to see such people who are  
concerned in helping his fellows, but is this enough? We should also  
do something...make our move...do our part before it’s too late!
