i think that it is cool that so many people are joining together and helping people below the line and trying to help one anyother!

it is so horrific that little kids have to go through prostitution and human trafficing, when their just little kids. when they don't even have sanitary items or hospitals near by, that child can get severly ill and a chance of dieing, from prostitution.

this shows the results of poverty and how it affects world hunger. I was very surprised after i read about how much things most people that are being affected by poverty can't get. I was also very surprised on how many children die of poverty in under 5 years.

With so many children dieing I almost wish people wouldn't have babies if they can't feed them because in the end the child will die.

Its disappointing because at the end of world war 2 scientist that with the advancement of technology, poverty would disappear but it didn't ;(

it was interesting to see what the government is doing to alleviate poverty. The article talked about an act that they made to help people in poverty.

This article talks about 11 effects of homelessness on teenagers. Some of them were incredible shocking. Like the statistic that 1 in four homeless youth have traded sex for survival needs. It was also sad that one in 260 homeless youths is murdered
