You gotta admit that the world is ugly. Although World War II was more than 60 years ago, the world today is still filled with destruction, but in different forms such as deforestation, animal massacres and also the robbery of human rights. The good news is that when there is darkness, there is light. More and more people, and organizations, have risen up to speak out against these destructive activities and more, with public awareness ads.

Reflection

I was quite surprised that there are so many things that I wasn’t aware of, when it comes to what people who are living in the same world where we are are suffering through. For sure I learned a lot from these ads, and I think the best thing I have learned is to be graceful about my life. I hope you feel the same way too.

But gratefulness alone cannot save another life! So if you’re willing, share this post or share these ads out! Let everybody know about it, and together we can bring hope and salvation to those who’re experiencing difficulties. Be part of the solution, thank you.
