    One of the Millienium goals is to "Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day." This article gives statistics and ways people have begun to reach the goal.

    These are the stories of many children and tennagers tat are facing poverty. One of the articles I find really disturbing is the one about white Guinea Worms, which grow in the body after drinking contaminated water and eventually burst throught the skin, to be pulled out by hand. These parasites can grow to be meters in length.

    It's sad to see these stories about children growing up in poverty. I was reading one about a girl named Yuleini and it said while her mother and stepfather were at work, she had to cook meals for her 4 siblings, wash their clothes, and play with them. She is taking on a lot of responsiblity and she will grow up to be a good mother to her children.

    Those worms are disgusting. ;_; It's amazing what these people have to go through.

    I can't beleive that people actualy have to go through that. Sometimes i just live in my own little world, and am oblivous to things around me. I notice the weird things, like how there is a gree bug in the snow, but i don't notice the walls, or the poverty going on around me. It's just unreal that things like worms can actually live in your body.

    It's so sad to see what people have to go through, and it's great that these organizations are providing them education.

    I think that is was so sad when the kids were talking about their dreams one day of going to college and pulling themselves out of poverty. Hopefully one day the United States and even us can help them to achieve their goals and dreams.

    Stopping extreme poverty is somehwhat very difficult. But these people think its very possible. They think poverty can be reduced in the year 2015 and can be extremly reduced in the year 2025. In my opinion, this is a goal that is very hard to reach, Especially with our economy today. But it is possible.
