    this article is about a group in Mexico (VCAW's). this group helps small urban areas of mexico get food, since woman dont have rights down there they try to gert more rights for them too. I think this article is very insightful to what happens in other parts of the world but idont necesarily agree with what the groups doing

    I did not know that within the estimated 25.2 million people living in rural Mexico, 57 percent live in poverty and 28 percent live in extreme poverty.

    the group CARE- a nonprofit organization works to provide food and water to those living in poverty. They have improved the lives of over 31 million people living in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. This article gave me a sense of how many people were living in poverty and how sad it is too see that number - Grant Chesser

    i cant believe that almost 3 BILLION people are in poverty in the world. one of our friends could be in poverty and we dont even know it.

    i can't believe that 3 billion people live on 2$ of food everyday. That is half of the world.

    I thought it was cool that this organization helped actually educate and train people to become farmers. It's one thing to give money to help a family in poverty, but eventually that money will run out. By training people to be farmers, they can then get a job and make a steady income to support their family on their own.

    I thought this was a very good article to read! I liked how they helped these people by not only feeding them but teaching them, giving some health care and standing alongside families that need soulutions to problems. THat is alot of people that need help. THis program is doing a great job of helping those in need.
  • Giesman G on 13 Jan 11
     
    I think that this article really shows how much we can help people in need. This one organization has helped over 31 million people. It's really upset me that 3 billion people are in poverty. Thats almost a 1 out of 2 kids being in poverty.

    I find it amazing that a non-profit organization can be so wide spread throughout the world. This shows how if we all come together like the members of this organization, we can overcome great obsticles such as poverty. It ' s shocking however that so many people will not even attept to help those poor unfortunate families.

    This website is about general facts about poverty, and how it varies by age, race and gender. i learned things like poverty is declining (and has been since the 1990s) but is still higher than in the 1970s. also, the poverty rate for children 0-17 is higher than any other age group, and marrige seems to help reduce poverty rates.

    I find it hard to believe that poverty level is dropping. I do, however, believe that it is higher thn it was in the 1970's.
  • Korn G on 13 Jan 11
     
    This article shows statistics of poverty over the last 13 years. Ex. In 1998 the child rate of poverty was 18.9% ( 13.5 million children) This article also talks about how Age, Race, Family Composition and Region effect Poverty

    this article talks about who are homeless and the percents of each homeless group. IT was really touching because it showed that everyone is affected. It really made me feel sad when I saw that 36% of homeless people are families
  • Foster H on 11 Jan 11
     
    it makes us relize how we shouldnt take things for granted, and just should be thankful for what we have, becuase some people dont even get the love and support we get. they just have nothing. ):
  • Grover M on 13 Jan 11
     
    I found this article interesting becasue it gives statistics about peopl who are homless, like 28% don't have enough to eat, compared to the 12% of adults who are hungry nut have homes." and "22% have been physically assulted". It gave me a different perspective about people who are homeless.

  • Banks T on 11 Jan 11
     
    This article is about the causes of poverty. Poverty is caused by overpopulation, unequal distribution of resources, costs of living, inadequate education, and unemployment. I was upset by the some of the causes of poverty, but hopeful too, because some of the causes could be changed in order to end poverty.

    this website talks about the many different factors that can play in peoples lives that will lead to them being in poverty
  • Mehl L on 11 Jan 11
     
    i think poverty will eventually be bred out wether from the most poor starting to die out and it will make it easier to help the smaller less scattered groups or somebody acually finds a decent way to help them all
  • Estice H on 11 Jan 11
     
    This article gives some basic causes of poverty and information on each of them. This article made me realize that it may not be the people's fault that they are struggling, but their environment plays a big part in it too.
  • Teets S on 11 Jan 11
     
    This article is about the suspected reasons for poverty. It provides detailed explanations for each cause of poverty; Overpopulation, Global Distribution of Resources, Costs of Living, Inadequate Education and Employment, Enviromental Degradation, and others. Reading this article, I felt guilty because of the standars of living in the U.S. I felt that in America, we worry about which new car, or designer clothing to buy, when people in developing countries worry about having enough in their gardens to feed their families. Our standards of living seem so silly compared to the standards in poverty stricken countries.
  • Ackerman B on 11 Jan 11
     
    I didn't know poverty was caused by so many things. This site is really informational too.
  • Tuttle S on 11 Jan 11
     
    Yes, their are many causes of poverty, but more importantly the efects, like malnutrition, homelessnes, and much, much more! It's crazy!
  • Eyen J on 11 Jan 11
     
    I think that poverty in some places can be like a cycle, once someone gets into poverty, it is almost impossible to get out.
  • Banks T on 12 Jan 11
     
    I agree Jake. I think that poverty is a never ending cycle, After reeading alot of these articles, I think the best solution would be to educate people so they can get their own jobs and make an income to end poverty.
  • Mousou M on 12 Jan 11
     
    i disagree with jake and tara. I think that poverty is not a never ending cycle, because if everyone heard about these people and we convinced them to donate 10-100$ every month or so, then we can end poverty!. Here is website where you can donate money: http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?go=section&section=10324&xxwvNavItemId=0&

    This article is extremly useful to me since i'm thinking about doing my report thing on causes. but its amazing how many causes there are and what they are.
  • Maddox M on 13 Jan 11
     
    I think that the most prominent reasons for poverty are inadequate education and pverpopulation. This makes more sense to why the US has a lot of poverty.

    this article is about the rise in poverty across europe. it says that old people and young people are highly suceptable to poverty but what does this mean? i feel that the middle group is bieng left out and that they are the cause of the poverty in theese neutral states.
