5. If you had the responsibility to decide where $1 million should be spent to improve conditions somewhere in the world, what project(s) would you choose? Why?

If I could decide where $1 million should be spent it would be difficult to choose but I woud send the money to Haiti and choose the Clean the World charity. Haiti is the poorest city in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and a simple donation such as soap will save their lives. Every year about five million people, the majority being children five years and younger, die from acute respiratory infection and diarrheal disease due to the one unobtainable yet essential thing, soap. Studies show that simple things like hand washing reduce the spread of these diseases but sadly, soap is unavailable to these impoverished people. $1 million would truly make a difference in their lives because it would save them. The essential would be provided for almost everyone in need with just $1. If the money were spent on something other than the needy, the help would only be sufficient for a few people. Haiti needs it more than anyone.
