  I would give up technology and no talking. It would change my life around.

  Invent a machine, that gave everyone compassion.

  I would post something, like a video, or an article on the internet, talking about racism and change the world, make it into a anti-racism world.

  Destroy plans for aesthetic upgrades (buildings) and use that money to help poverty.

  I would play soccer with orphans and vulnerable children in Africa, then eat oranges and read a book of happy nursery rhymes until they all napped happily with full bellies in the shade of an acacia tree!

  I would write a song about unsafe drinking water and then send it to millions of famous singers and get them all to sing it!

  I would cancel any plans for infrastructure upgrades and use that money to relieve West Africa from their current food crisis. This includes Ethiopia, Uganda and Sudan.

  i would go around to everyone who makes more then they need too, take there money and give it all to the people with nothing so they can buy food, crops, animals, toys and everything they need

   I would raise money by giving up chocolate/chocolate flavoured foods and furniture for 40 hours and donate it to the 40 hour famine (which I am doing). Then if I could, I would visit the poor, hungry children and families in Kenya, East Timor, Ethiopia etc. and give them all the money myself and donate toys, equipment etc. I would love to see all the smiles on the children and love to make them happy!
   I don't think it is fair that all other countries are living like this with new technology, furniture, shelter and everything else and these poor families don't even have something to cover them when they go to sleep or anything to eat or at least keep their stomach's full for the whole day, never mind nutritional food.
  I believe that everyone should be treated fairly and be given some respect.

  If i had 40 hours to change the world, i would give everyone a suficiant food suply and a clean water sorce. i know this is vertually inpossible but if we worked together and help these undeveloped contries i'm sure we could make a signifigant difference to the world we know today.

  If i could change the world in 40hrs I would distribute all food and clean water evenly among all of the people on earth. Did you know if all the food was shared equally there would be no one dying of starvation and no one would be obese. I would also stop all Terrorism and wars and help all the people fighting come to an agreement with each other and then live peacefully among each other. And i would give every one equal rights and opportunities.

  It is one thing to want to change the world. It's another thing entirely to achieve such a feat in 40 hours. But I am a firm believer that one rain drop raises the sea. So to change the world in 40 hours I would live my life as peacefully, fairly and open mindedly as possible so that perhaps my out look on life will inspire another person to do the same. when that person inspires another the effect of peace begins to occur. Only by everyone coming together, with open minds, will world peace be achieved. Only in a world of peace can we truly eliminate famine. And with famine a thing of the past we will achieve equality. Thats how I would (and try) change the world in 40 hours, by living in peace and passing it on until enough people unite to bring world peace and thus end famine uniting all in equality.

  If i had 40hours to change the world i would make sure everyone in the world had food and shelter and that no one is starving just because of the race  they are or just  because they're poor or rich because no one deserves to starve. That would be the one thing i would wanna change in the world if i had 40hours to do it.
