Good News that Should Make the Headlines

Nicholas Kristof, Opinion Columnist with the New York Times, writes an interesting piece in which he outlines how 2019 was possibly the best year ever... if you consider the reduction in the number of people living in extreme poverty, illiteracy, and childhood deaths.

He provides a selection of headlines that could run daily in our newspapers:
“Another 170,000 Moved Out of Extreme Poverty Yesterday.”
"Another 325,000 people got their first access to electricity"
"Yesterday 650,000 went online for the first time"
"Today 200,000 got piped water for the first time"
“The Number of People Living on More Than $10 a Day Increased by 245,000 Yesterday.”

Let’s be thankful as we reflect on these positive statistics and information.
