If the World Were a Village

At this moment, there are more than 6 billion people on the planet! It's hard to picture so many people at one time-but what if we imagine the whole world as a village of just 100 people? In this village: 22 People speak a Chinese dialect, 20 earn less than a dollar a day, 17 cannot read or write, 60 are always hungry, 24 have televisions in their home.

If the World Were a Village tells us who we are, where we live, how fast we are growing, what languages we speak, what religions we practice and more. So come and learn about our global village!
