    This is an article about how Philadelphia cut its food pantry budget while so many families are already struggling. To be more specific they cut their State Food Purchase Program which is how the states buy food for their food pantries.

    It is extremly eye openeing learning that 1 in 8 americans are on food stamps, i never knew poverty was climbing so quickly. if i had to go to walmart at midnight for food because i've been waiting a week for it, i would be depressed. and it isn't fair that these people only get half of what we spend, but still make it last a week longer than the avarage american would have.

    I found it terrible that it was really hard to find help from food pantries when people were starving. It would be so much better if the food pantries could be easier for these starving people to get access to

    Dude that's all kinds of wrong! I really don't think it was a bright idea for the city to cut the food pantry budgets.... Just, ehh, wrong. -_-

    that's sad. It seems like Philadelphia doesn't really know what is going on with their poverty level

    It bothered me that budgets qere cut when the number of struggling families rose! I don't like that so many people in poverty are children.

    Why would you you do a budget cut for a food pantry when tones of familys need the most help they can get.

    Thye decision to cut Philadelphia's food pantry, is cutting on human lives. People who are in poverty are starving in Philadelphia, and whithout people alive in Philadelphia, then what, or where is Philadelphia?!

    This is an article that came out March 30, 2010. A personal story about a girl coming out from college trying to find a way in this world. It also talks about the live's of black families and white families and comparing their wealth.

    that was a really inspirational article...i hope more people realize that often it isn't the people's fault-they just weren't given a chance to start a new life without all that baggage.

    Peterson's story was very sad but it was interesting too see that she used education as her solution. I hope that people who are like her read her story and use education as their solutions. If she can inspire me im sure she can inspire alot of people just like her.

    Its so hard to escape poverty because they have to get a job. In this bad economy it so hard.

    People ask why people stay in poverty for so long, and this article answers that question

    I liked the last part that said with personal education comes, the need for others to be educated. I thought this was really good because it was saying that the first and most important step to helping others in poverty is to be educated well.
  • Estice H on 14 Jan 11
     
    I think that it's really interesting that education is one of the big reasons people are in poverty. If we could give everyone a proper education, we could probably take a lot of people out of poverty.

    This chart shows that there is a alot of poverty even here in the US. This lists them by states by the highest poverty rate. Its not surprising but its still sad.

    Ohio is #24. That's like, in the middle from everyone else. That's really sad to know, I feel bad for being so selfish and buying things for myself when there are people out there who don't own alot...

    Im surprised we are at #24 i thought we would be higher because i have seen a lot of poverty in ohio

    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.

    I think it's uplifting to know that although poverty isn't over yet we have soultions to help end it

    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!
