So, what is poverty and how does it affect and take lives of millions? Poverty is the state of being poor, and lack the means of providing material needs or comforts. Unfortunately, I have to say that this is still happening in many parts of the world. Partly, this has to do with the policies of rich countries. In Europe, every year thousands of tons of wheat, butter and other food items are destroyed in order to maintain high stock prices for their farmers! These could have been donated to people with their needs for food in Africa and...
enough people who care about poverty. Eight hundred forty million people around the world go hungry everyday and are struggling to survive. There is good news: a little goes a long way! With just 30 dollars, you can provide a child nutritious food, clean water, medical care and education for a whole month! Some of you spend more than 30 dollars in one day, while these children are only asking for 30 dollars each month to survive. Canada must realize just because they are poor, it does not mean that they don't deserve the same chances in life.
