Wow. This is awesome! Just by taking a quiz I am helping the world. I think this is a great idea.

i think its really cool how people come up with ideas like quizes because it allows people to have fun and still give back. you might think that a couple grains of rice is nothing but to some people, that could be a lot of food.

Whoever thought of this is a genius. It's great to know that I am helping people in need, and it's really fun too!

I was very suprised to see that someone came up with something like that. I think its a good way to donate rice. No cost and its fun.

oh my goodness ive done this before and i feel so proud

This website is a really good website to donate to people living in poverty.

This is really cool, and really fun to do!! and, you're helping th world when you do it!!

I've used this site many times before. It's cool because they have rice to donate, but you can help by answering simple questions. I see a lot of people in class doing it, and it's cool that we're all donating rice!!! :)

that's really cool that they're donating rice for really easy questions.

I have done this before. I think it's pretty amazing how much people can donate just by playing this game. This helps people in poverty so even though it's not an article, this helps so many people. :)

This is a really cool website and i loved how while learning stuff you get to help people in need.

I agree with everyone. Ive done this before and I think its really cool how you can help people by answering questions. It is also fun and you are helping make a difference.

Wow, this makes me want to keep playing. This is a genius idea, and it makes a big impact. Imagine if this website was broadcasted over the news, so many people would feel obligated to donate.

I like this article because i think it's cool how you can donate rice that's really interesting

just think of all the people we can help if everyone donates and takes the quiz. We can help make an effort to make a difference to people in poverty. They should have more websites like this. Something for like homeless people. Everytime you answer something, something can be donated to a homelss shelter or something. I dont know, sounds good to me.

Its so nice that you can take a quiz and donate rice at the same time.

I don't get how I donate rice by taking a quiz... But alright...

This is a very very fun game, i got to donate over 500 grains of rice :)

I donated over 520 grains of rice. The only one I missed was obligatory what does that mean?

thats a really cool website. Imagine if everyone did it just a couple times a week it could really help countries that are really struggeling with poverty.

I really like this website, how you can donate grains of rice for answering questions. It's like a two way street. People in poverty get rice while we get to learn. I just wish they had some harder questions. These are too easy for me. but i did donate 530 grains of rice!

That's a good way to help. It's entertaining for the viewer/player as well as helpful. Navigating the site you're bound to learn more about the hungry and poor.

Wow this was really a good idea! i donated 720 grain of rice :) This was really fun and however thought of this idea, it was a really good one! Godd article Marlee!

i like the quiz, but i don't know if they actually donating rice. if they do donate rice i think it is a smart idea, but if they don't donate rice, then what is the point?

This website is sweet! I think this was a really cool way to start fighting poverty while learning new things. It does go slowly but i will definatly do this again sometime.

This is awesome. I'm enjoying helping people by just answering questions. I hope that is true that they will donate the rice.

I took the quiz and donated 1000 grains of rice LITERALLY. That is also a great way to fight poverty and it is a awesome idea. But they should have more publicity to get to millions more people.

I donated 500 grains of rice by answer 50 questions in a row. This is a great idea, because it gives people a game that teaches them, and they're also helping to feed the less fourtunate! I wonder what other ideas we could spin off of this?

It is very brilliant to educate people to help stop poverty; for "knowledge equals power," and we need as much power as we can get to cure the "plague" of pverty around the world.

I agree that educating people about poverty is one of the best ways to help it and to prevent it. educating people about the effects of poverty and educating people in general so they can go to school and get jobs is good.

I also agree that education is one of the ways to help stop poverty. Because if people are educated, they can get a job and provide for the family. It wont solve the probelm all the way because their income may not match up to the amount of money needed to live. But educating people is a good start.

it's so nice to see a website full of solutions. i mean, statistics and facts are important, but we need more sites like this that educate and give solutions.

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.

thats amazing that just one group has helped more than 31 million peolpe all over the world.

It's phenomenal that the nonprofit organization improved the lives of over 31 million people in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the middle east.

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.

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

15 million children that sad. Why want people help them?

I don't know if we should be giving money to other nations to hepl poverty when we have so many people here in america that are experiencing the same hardships.

i fond this fact very disturbing and suprising: "Everyday 2,660 children are born into poverty; 27 die because of it.'

I liked this article because although it talked about the sad poverty statistics it did talk about how the government is trying to help compared to other articles which blame the government.

This article was not only informational, but it made me hopeful. Full of statistics, this article gives you information on the effects of poverty AND tells you what is currently being done to help this growing problem in America. "Everyday 2,660 children are born into poverty; 27 die because of it." Although this fact is saddening, I was inspired by this fact: "In 1995, 49% of American adults regularly did some form of volunteer work -- a total of 20.3 billion hours." It's good to see that children in poverty are being helped by those more fortunate than themselves. (:

This website is about world poverty and its effects. The home page has a map of people dying all around the world because of hunger/hunger related causes.

This website shows deaths this hour, and sadly it is mostly kids ans women who die. I noticed none of the deaths are from America.

Well, this article tells you facts about poverty. It tells you organizations that help out this problem too. It told me that over 25,000 people die because of poverty and I was like, "OMGNOWAY!!"

It really mad me sad to see all of the faces on the map. It made me sad, but yet it mezmorized me to see all of the people that had died

I hated how the faces were showing up, but what made me sad was that most of them were in asia, africa, and a few were in south america. What i REALLY didn't like was at the bottom of the home page, it said the faces and the names were fake.

this article expains statistics and how although there is enough food for everybody, not everybody can afford it. About 25,000 people die every day of hunger,yet there is plenty of food in the world for everyone. its sad to see how many people are dying in just this hour.

I was really disturbed when I read that 25,000 people die each day of hunger or hunger related causes... I knew people died but I never thought that it would be that many...

Being in the situation we are, or at least the situation I am, I always feel very datatched rfom the world of poverty. But seeing the actual faces and coming to mental realization that these4 are people with families and storys was really an eye opener. good find.

oh my god, this article makes me soo depressed. but i don't understand how they could have the picture up of people who just died in that hour? unless i read it wrong

One person dies every 3 and a half seconds according to the United Nations. Children die more often than adults. The world has plenty of food to feed everyone but the problem is that people are trapped in severe poverty. They dont have the money to buy the food. If they never have food, they become week and sick causing them to not work and they get poorer. There are programs around the world the can help children buy food when they are at school so their families can save money.

It's sad just knowing how many people die from poverty, but seeing their faces makes it even worse!

omg i did kno we were poor kinda ironic because we grow so much food!

I was supried when i found out that the top 10 poorest cities, three are in Ohio are Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo. I meen those are mentioned all the time for art shows and cool events and to think that they are poor?!! wow!

this article is about how 1in 5 Marion County residence went into poverty last year. and how bad the economy has effected Ohio

i agree with adele about the cool events. I drive though cinncinati a couple times a year and i see the big stadium plus i have family down there who are dintist so i never would have thought it would be one of the more poor cities in ohio. I also can't believe clevland because its up by lake errie and i travle there too and i would think they would have more job opertunities from working the ferries or working at cedier point.But i guess thats why its so shocking to me.

it terrible that all of this is happening in the U.S but also in our own state, and in the cities around us. it was sad that even though people had a job, they were living paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes jobs help you, but sometimes they don't. nice artical ryan.

I never really thought that ohio had alot of poverty! I was suprised that Cleveland, Cincinnati. and toledo are listed in the top 10 of poor cities. I am hoping that we can whip this country back into shape before eerything goes down!

this amazed me that no other state has more than one city that is in poverty. Coming from the state ohio, living in columbus, i had no idea toledo, cleveland, and cincinnati was in poverty.

This article is about how poverty in Ohio is growing really fast. I was pretty dang surprised at the numbers when the article told how fast poverty is growing. I think it's a really good 'cause there's a lot of good information!

This article really surprised me. I couldn't believe that Ohio has the most cities in poverty! I never really thought that our state was really poor, until I read this article.

I always thought Ohio didnt have a lot of poverty, but that is just becasue I'm protected from it, so i never see it. this is a huge eye opener because even working families in Ohio arent doing well financially.

It was shocking that Ohio has three of the poorest cities in all of America. That's like 1/3 of the top ten are where we live... Disturbing.

woah dude! I thought that we were kinda rich.... But I guess not o_O... nice article, I learned a lot!

I never knew Ohio was this bad. I thought Ohio was coming back but apparently not according to the stats.

I was very sad to read that Ohio is three of the poorest cities in all of America. It makes me feel to do something since I live around poverty. Very eye opening!

to be honest, it doesn't suprise me that Ohio has the top 3 poorest cities. Everyday I see people struggle.

I can believe that Ohio has the poorest cities, but yet it still suiprises me. Deep in your head you know that people are poor, but you don't want to believe it.

yeahh what rachel said. i mean even though i don't really see many people on the streets like you would in D.C. or chicago. but still it is very truee. :c

I never thought that poverty in Ohio was this bad. I guess I just hadn't opened up my eyes to the people who are struggling. To see that our home is riddled with hardship is not only sad, but it is a monumental weight on your mind.

This doesn't suprise me. I see people on the street and in food banks.

the highest number of poverty in 51 years? Wow the world really sucks today.

This is Crazy, In Marion The Salvation Army's food pantry served 1,020 This August. The number of people doubled from a year ago. This shows that more and more people need support, its sad

i agree with caroline. it seems like the world is getting more expensive how will we survive when we're older. the population is getting out of hands too.

It's scary to think that Ohio is has more poor people in this year than last year. Hopefully, we can get reduce poverty levels in Ohio again.

i can't believe the sitaution is so bad, and how WILL we survive? (that was supposed to be in italics) it doesn't make sense-if the world becomes poorer and poorer, then the rich become fewer and fewer, and eventually it's going to snowball and just get out of control

This article tells the long-term effects of poverty, the different kinds of poverty, and how we can help stop it. I thought that this article was really helpful if you don't know much about poverty, or if you want to know how to help it. I think it's pretty sad that some people are born into poverty and they can't get the right education because of it.

I really liked this because it gives you a chance to sponser a child, and it also tells you about what you have to do and what will happen when you sponser a child. This is a great site to look at after you look at poverty articles because it will really make you want to do something to help out. Thanks for sharing!

The fact that more than three quarters of women have HIV is scary I felt. When I saw that women in are giving up their food their food so that their children can eat is really sad. This article and all the other articles that I've been reading makes me want to do something.

this is a really great article. i new that poverty affected everyone that has to go through it, but i never realised how much more it affects woman. I wonder why AIDS is now more of a womans disease?

I couldn't believe that 3/4 of young people with HIV and AIDS were women! That really scares me. I agree with Mariah that women giving up food for their children is really sad. This article really makes me want to find "solutions" to poverty.

I couldn't belive that women are usually in poverty! Young girls don't go to school, and 3/4 of young people with HIV and AIDS are young girls! To hear women giving up their meals so their children can have food is so sad. THis really wants me to take action and try to help those in need.

This article talks about what poverty is and the different kinds of poverty. Relative poverty and absolute poverty are two kinds of poverty. Hunger and disease are some of the effects of poverty.

Parts of this article describes what poverty is. It says how poverty is caused and the effects poverty has on people.

this gives information about health effects, hunger, lack of sources, and the deffinition

This site was really an eye opener. You here that children are dying, and not having food, but when you put number sto it, like 8.1 million children every yeaar, it really makes you want to do something about it.

I was very unpleasantly suprised to see that every 4 seconds a child dies.

I cant believe that so many children die every year of poverty. And its really sad that 88million died in the span of 9 years. It makes me want to help even though I know it will always be a problem. The least we can do is donate and help decrease the number of deaths each year.

the way the statistics were explained were good, the numbers weren't just numbers. they make sense, and it breaks my heart. a child dies every four seconds. We are letting precious life slip away.

wow this is so sad. i world of never thought over 8 million kids die a year in the world. the Haiti earthquake was terrible but i never knew every ten days as many people died in the earth quake was as many kids died in the ten days around the world. thats so sad :(

i can not believe that a child is dieing every 4 seconds, and 15 every minute. I don't know how they know that 15 children are dieing every minute or 22,000 children are dieing every day. I think that it is sad that most people don't donate money to people who need it.

Its so sad that so many children died before there 5th birthday! 8 MILLION children. It really gives perspectice to the situation and i know people go with 8 million children dying if i helped by donating it wouldn't make a difference but it will. If everyone thought that same way the number of kids dying each year would be soooo much higher.

I like that the overnment is taking stops to help poverty, but I agree that it will not even come close to ending poverty.

I remember hearing abut that guy n tv! I never really knew that there where "myths" about poverty. It was really interesting to see the stereotypes that people come up with.

TED WILLIAMS. he is so amazing I love his story. It makes me really happy to know that hes going to visit his mom for the first time in like 40 years thats so sweet. C:

That's so sweet that he's the announcer for the Cavaliers now! He was in a macaroni and cheese commercial too. It's so crazy that he went from homeless to famous in two days!

Its nice to see someone overcome such a problem and able to beat it. Really gives me hope that our nation can beat this problem

i think people really need to read this srticle-it's short and sweet, but kills a lot of mithys about poverty. go Ted!

I think that this story shows that you can get out of poverty! It shows hope to a lot of different people including those in poverty.

yeah Declan........ All you need is a perfect radio voice.... -_____-

At first I thought that this man's story was amazing, but as his real story developed, I was disgusted by this story. Turns out that he was a drug addict and that he has (still is) physically abused his daughter, lying to her, saying that he was sober when really he was slobbering drunk. Now he is going to rehab. Guys, rehab isn't free. Who's paying for that? Some person who felt generous. Well, why is it that the people who have chosen to throw their lives away get all this support? What about the people who are pure? While this man gets attention for being a drug addict, people are STILL starving on the streets. Juss' sayin.

shelby, the guy overcame homelessness and poverty and has pratically turned his life around. Rehab will help the guy to become a better person. I think his story is pretty remarkable

He a drug addict. He can't pay for it so someone elso is paying for his rehab when that money can go to the streets were familys need it most.
