Smyth C on 13 Jan 11I don't know if we should be giving money to other nations to hepl poverty when we have so many people here in america that are experiencing the same hardships.

Green C on 13 Jan 11i fond this fact very disturbing and suprising: "Everyday 2,660 children are born into poverty; 27 die because of it.'

Roesch D on 14 Jan 11I liked this article because although it talked about the sad poverty statistics it did talk about how the government is trying to help compared to other articles which blame the government.

Teets S on 14 Jan 11This article was not only informational, but it made me hopeful. Full of statistics, this article gives you information on the effects of poverty AND tells you what is currently being done to help this growing problem in America. "Everyday 2,660 children are born into poverty; 27 die because of it." Although this fact is saddening, I was inspired by this fact: "In 1995, 49% of American adults regularly did some form of volunteer work -- a total of 20.3 billion hours." It's good to see that children in poverty are being helped by those more fortunate than themselves. (:

Bloom A on 14 Jan 11I cant believe that in 2008 15.45 million children were living in poverty or were poor. Those children will probably not get an adequate education or have a good healthy childhood. Most likly when those children are old enough they will have to get a job as soon as they can to help the family pay for the things they need. We are so lucky and most of us dont realise it.
