This article is about how people can help stop poverty.
It really surprised me how many people in the world live in extreme poverty. But it made me happy to see that over 20,000 people committed to help stop poverty.
THis article talks about poverty and tells us how we can help prevent it. It also has some facts about poverty like how many live in poverty on average.
I can't even imagine trying to live on less than $1.25 a day. It's great to know that, in the past 30 years, the amount of people in the world having to live like this has halved, from 1.9 billion to 1.4 billion. We still have a long, long way to go! This site can give us some ideas on how to change things for the better for our generation, and generations to come.
This article describes how poverty affects childrens brains. The articles says that lower class children's brains develope differently than those of the higher and middle class. This affects thier language skills and thier "ability to plan and remember details". I found this article interesting, and i think it might help explain why people who grew up in poverty have trouble getting out of it when they are older.
