How Shovels are Used Today to Help Us
People who live safe lives and live in rich countries like you and me think of a shovel as a tool, but people living in third world countries and war zones think of it as a life saver. The shovel can save lives, it can give soldiers cover on the battlefield and help people living in poor countries grow their own food and get water. Shovels can also help people whose car is snowed in or whose sidewalk is covered in snow.
