half of the money that is spent in studying
them.  Bill Vaughan

walks on, doesn't look backHe pretends he can't
hear herStarts to whistle as he crosses the
streetSeems embarrassed to be there - Another
Day in Paradise, Phil Collins

something to be ashamed of. In a country badly

Its hard to decide WHAT type of poverty to talk
about.when there are so many TOO MANY
There are children...
Its devastating to know that in today's world,
with all of the technology, money, homes, food
and clothing, that there are still children in
the world like these ones.

Some facts

• Half the world nearly three billion people
  live on less than two dollars a day.
• 20 of the population in the developed nations,
  consume 86 of the worlds goods
• An analysis of long-term trends shows the
  distance between the richest and poorest
  countries was about
• 3 to 1 in 1820
• 11 to 1 in 1913
• 35 to 1 in 1950
• 44 to 1 in 1973
• 72 to 1 in 1992 source

• The lives of 1.7 million children will be
  needlessly lost this year because world
  governments have failed to reduce poverty levels.
• The combined wealth of the worlds 200 richest
  people hit 1 trillion in 1999 the combined
  incomes of the 582 million people living in the
  43 least developed countries is 146 billion
• According to UNICEF, 30,000 children die each day
  due to poverty. And they die quietly in some of
  the poorest villages on earth, far removed from
  the scrutiny and the conscience of the world.
  Being meek and weak in life makes these dying
  multitudes even more invisible in death.
• That is about 210,000 children each week, or just
  under 11 million children under five years of
  age, each year

-1 would be near death

What are you doing to stop poverty????
There are so many people in the world who would
DIE to have what you and I have. Some people go
everyday with only the clothes on their backs,
and 1 in their pocket. They truly have NOTHING!
But yet, most of them are some-what happy if you
talk to them, and you know why?...
Because today they are still here. They still are
able to walk, talk, and breathe. They might not
have food, health insurance, or even good health.
They might not have a good home, or a home at
all, but they do have their life.
The poor dont need our pity..
They need our HELP!!!
