Surviving On US$2 A day

Our kids at home would often take things for granted.

They often had more than enough in all areas.

They may find $2 is not enough as pocket money for their recess break.

The story of Madame Yoo would inspire them to appreciate what they have.

Madame Yoo survived mainly on red pepper or soybean paste with rice for food since she did not have enough money to buy food to cope with her daily expenses.

This videoclip was meant to raise the awareness of the poverty that the elderly population was facing.

Madame Yoo was just one of the many elderly people who were suffering to cope with their daily living expenses.

This is a good resource for teachers and parents to get their children to reflect on their own habit of waste and cultivate empathy for those who need their help.
