16 Children And Their Bedrooms From Across The World. This Will Open Your Eyes.
Some kids grow up in poverty, lacking food and sanitation, while others are born in countries where basic necessities are taken for granted. Photographer James Mollison came up with the project when he thought about his own childhood bedroom and how it reflected who he was. Where Children Sleep – a collection of stories about children from around the world told through portraits of their bedrooms – stemmed from his ideas. I’m shocked by how differently children start their lives in this world. All of them deserve a chance, but some will never get one due to the harsh environments they’re raised in. Those of us who were fortunate in our youth should help everyone have the same opportunities we did when we grew up. Spread these incredible 2 photo stories by sharing this list.

The Best Sites That Show Statistics By Reducing The World & The U.S. To 100 People
Reducing statistics to “if _________ were 100 people, then __________” can make them very accessible, engaging, and thought-provoking. For example, there’s the well-known “If Twitter Was 100 People” infographic. There are also several sites that use “gimmick” to illustrate much more important data about the world around us. I thought they might make a useful “The Best…” list for English Language Learners and others. Here are my choices for The Best Sites That Show Statistics By Reducing The World & The U.S. To 100 People: Miniature Earth is a pretty amazing site. USA has an article about a book and school curriculum that portrays the United States as one hundred people. 100 People: A World Chart is also accessible. The World of 100 is a series of infographics highlighting various statistics. Here’s a site that uses Lego-like imagery to reduce the world to 100 people in different categories — weird, but, I think, effective. “If The World Were A Village Of 100 People” is a good infographic.
