Pretty much just some statistics on poverty and hunger in the US. One fact i thought was suprising was "Nearly one in four children is at risk of hunger. Among African-Americans and Latinos, one in three children is at risk of hunger."

This site talked about ways to help with poverty. I liked how it listed different sites you could go to for more information and besides that really just educated the reader. I feel that it's format could have been different though so as not to bore the reader.

That is rediculous how many people die every year from poverty! I cant even begin to imagine what it would be like to live in a situation like those people were in. Not having enough food, or a warm place to sleep at night

This is a columbus based program that helps people in poverty, particulary children. They reccomened and give out healthy foods. THey have many internal programs, such as cooking matters, which teaches low income families how to prepare and cook healthy delcious meals.

This article is about a woman in New York who helps children who are homeless get free and reduced lunches, transportation and immediate enrollment.

I think what Miss Kilduff is doing is very unselfish--a great quality! It's a shocking fact that there are 51,316 homeless students in NYC alone! And 1.1 million in the entire state of New York! It's not hard to believe that poverty exists in such a city, but the numbers are outstanding. I really hope that Kilduff keeps up her work, and inspires others to reach out, too.

I very much agree with Roseann Kilduff. I used to go to a private school which people are not that wealthy but are not in poverty. Now in a public school, I found out it's very different. Their are people I know that are in poverty which has opened my eye more to reality. Poverty is scene daily, even if others don't recognize it.

This tells how poverty is measured is the U.S.A. It surprised me how many "qualifications" you have to have.

Why do is it so hard to be poor. It would help more people if the qualifications were easier to make.

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.

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.

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 article is about extreme poverty and many facts about it. This article made me really sad because there are a lot of sad facts about poverty.

I didn't know that, approximately 9.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year, mostly from preventable diseases.

It's so sad to see that so every day and every minute a kid dies because of poverty i wonder if anyone is trying to do anything to help if not why don't they start

This article describes how poverty affects childrens brains. The articles says that lower class children's brains develope differently than those of the higher and middle class. This affects thier language skills and thier "ability to plan and remember details". I found this article interesting, and i think it might help explain why people who grew up in poverty have trouble getting out of it when they are older.

what do you think human kibble or lifesaver?

I don't really see the difference between this and 5 hour energy stims with peanut butter. The reason is because stims gives you a heavy adrenaline much like giving your body heavy amounts of rest and food.
