    Stopping extreme poverty is somehwhat very difficult. But these people think its very possible. They think poverty can be reduced in the year 2015 and can be extremly reduced in the year 2025. In my opinion, this is a goal that is very hard to reach, Especially with our economy today. But it is possible.

    This article talks about poverty around the world and gives statistics. I was shocked when it said that 1 child dies every four seconds due to poverty. 15 children die every minute.

    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.
  • Grover M on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Costello R on 14 Jan 11
     
    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 :(
  • Mousou M on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Reed E on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Brown B on 14 Jan 11
     
    I was completly shocked at what this article had to say. I was not happy with the notion that every four seconds a child dies and most likely it is causes realates to poverty. I want to help those in need. The pictures that they had of the children made my heart ache. I know that we might not save every child in the world but maybe we can reduce those numbers.
  • Teets S on 14 Jan 11
     
    Definatly a eye-opening article. The first few lines of text were like a bomb to the heart. It's just so sad that so many children are dying, and that there is no clear, easy solution.

    The poverty rate in columbus is starting to show in the schools. As other articles have said, poverty influences not only physical, but mental health. I think the capacity at which poverty is rising is dramatic, and the fact that it has seeped into schools in astounding,

    I was surprized to see that poverty in the Columbus district is the highest percent, at 82%. I thought that Columbus would be one of the disticts that had a lower rate of poverty.

    Poverty is sad, 600 million children are living in extreme poverty. 75 million children are out of school. It's horrible because they don't even get a chance for a good life without school.
  • Cook A on 13 Jan 11
     
    i think one of the saddest thing is that kidsw are dying from curable diseases. that means that we arent doing enough to make sure that everyone gets the treatment they deserve.
  • Chesser G on 13 Jan 11
     
    That's sad to see that approx. 25,000 children die each day to something that can be prevented. I wonder what the U.N. is doing to prevent that
  • Althauser M on 13 Jan 11
     
    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 was really a wake up call. I never realized that that many people were in poverty, and i never really thought about how many children were in poverty. This is a really good article if you are interested in the statistics of poverty

    This is very interesting and its good to know the percentages for poverty rates and stuff. it is kind of sad, though, how extremly high all these percentages are.
  • Sorenson H on 13 Jan 11
     
    I am amazed that the official rate of poverty was 14.3 in 2009. from the 13.2 from 2008

    I think the saddest thing about this is that there is so much good info and statistics out there, like this website, but so many people don't know how bad poverty really is. I had no idea that poverty was this bad, or that it was increasing this fast.

    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.
  • Stonerook J on 13 Jan 11
     
    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.

    Basicly if you get questions right it donates 10 grains of rice to needy countries for every question you answer right. I thought it was a really good idea. I wonder who came up with it.

    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.
  • Estice H on 13 Jan 11
     
    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'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!!! :)
  • Sun K on 13 Jan 11

    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. :)

  • Phillips L on 13 Jan 11
     
    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
  • Strauss V on 13 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Kelly S on 13 Jan 11
     
    Its so nice that you can take a quiz and donate rice at the same time.

  • Bloom A on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Goldblum J on 14 Jan 11
     
    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!
  • Anders P on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.

    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?
  • Matson K on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Roesch D on 14 Jan 11
     
    This is awesome. I'm enjoying helping people by just answering questions. I hope that is true that they will donate the rice.
  • Brown A on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Stonerook J on 14 Jan 11
     
    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?
  • Pavlechko M on 14 Jan 11
     
    Duuuddeee! We should totally try to like tell the seventh graders about this and like make them take it! We could have like a day of like donating rice (:
  • Pawluk M on 14 Jan 11
     
    This is a great website to do something simple to help out families in need. Even though it's only 10 grains of rice per question that can add up very quickly.
