Please tell a story about a time when a person or organization tried to help someone or change something in your community:

There Are People Who Need Help

A few months ago we as journalists, we went for an excursion to collect data but what we saw was unpleasant.There was no water anymore and rain had took long before raining in that place.people has hectare of land there but didn't work on them because of lack of water.I felt pity for those people because they were starving, their animals grew weaker and weaker due to lack of pasture to feed them,people became dwindles and were unable to work some even died one after another you may think that they were competing.I was soo exasporate to see how the fellow human beings starved. Those people needed to enlist from us.I elicited to get some information about them so that we could find a war of helping them.We all know that if it were you, what would you have done? to us we atlist tried to supply them water and they took with thanks giving.Now to my suggesting i think the government should sit and discuss themselves how they can help those people, they are really suffocating and if the government can do something for them they can be fully for the government will do for them.
