Actually, I can answer yes to that question. Every summer my family and I host a child from Belarus(its near russia). This is where some of the worst fall out from the nuclear plant that exploded a while back. So basicly these kids are living with radiation every day, its in thier food, in the ground they walk on and all around them every day. By hosting one of these children every summer, it has been proven that in one summer they have become healty enough to add one year to thier life. ONE SUMMER! Im not even talking the whole summer, he only comes for 6 weeks. But does this nuclear fall out directly affect my family and I or even american? No. About 100 kids come every summer from Belarus, most of them grow about 2 or 3 inches and gain about 10 pounds. Most when they first arrive are incredibly skinny, unhealthy skinny. So why does my family do this, because we can.
I also work at the food bank every thanksgiving and christmas to pass out food to the people that cant afford it. I dont have to work there and waste my thanksgiving and christmas dinners. But you know what I do, and I do it because my family has the money to have a big dinner like that. Why not help those that are less fortunate and cant have things like that.
