Are You a Disaster Tourist?
Poverty is a condition in which a person or community is deprived of, or lacks the essentials for a minimum standard of well being and life, including food, clothing, shelter and safe drinking water, but also intangibles such as the opportunity to learn and to enjoy the respect of fellow students.
Here is a website I found that goes into a great explanation of living in poverty, to see it, click here.
Poverty is a problem that surrounds every community, society and country. While many people try to deal with poverty outside of their countries in third world countries, they forget to focus on the poverty inside of their own. There are many local families that suffer from poverty everyday and they go unnoticed.
I think we should take a look into our communities and help those who are suffering from poverty. Anyone can be poor, even though they don’t show it. Sure the third world countries need the help, but it isn’t right to ignore the problems that are in our own society.
