The document discusses issues affecting half the world such as poverty, violence against children, child labor, tobacco and alcohol abuse, depression, lack of sanitation, plastic waste, deaths from armed conflicts and torture. However, it also notes that half the world lives, makes, gives, is, thinks, does, cares, shares, sings, laughs and brings. It calls for making one better world in 2014 and quotes Nelson Mandela that "It always seems impossible until its done."
