Helping others also means help ourselves. 2, Development countries have the responsibility contribute more in the campaign, like the younger help the elder, the strongs help the weaks. With helping each others, we human could get through all the difficulties as quickly as possible, and it is the only way to solve them as well. 3, To accomplish such a great task both parties need to put great effort together. The party being helped shouldn’t count on other country to help and does nothing. For human’s sake, other countries also have the obligation to help.
