What are some things that we can do individually to help those in extreme poverty? What could we do as a group to help end hunger? Please brainstorm 2 original ideas and comment on at least 1 peer's idea. Be creative.
Poverty is the condition of lacking basic human needs such as nutrition, clean water, health care, clothing, and shelter because of the inability to afford them.This is also referred to as absolute poverty or destitution. Relative poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others within a society or country, or compared to worldwide averages.
Poverty is a call to action -- for the poor and the wealthy alike -- a call to change the world so that many more may have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to education and health, protection from violence, and a voice in what happens in their communities.
Send students over to a poor country, and they them realize what their live is like everyday. Students will be more appreciative of what they have, and might be more willing to help out a poor country
birth control should be sent to these countries, it sounds mean but people over there are still reproducing, and once a child can no longer get food from its mother, it starts to starve. Opening trade for these developing countries to sell their crops would provide more income for these countries making their economies strongeerr
With millions of people in this country who live comfortable, if we just donated a small amount of money, donations would really add up and slowly but surely, poverty and hunger would go away.
People who go overseas and help are the ones who know how life is over there from our viewpoint. Nobody really understands how bad it is over there until they themselves see it at a firsthand view.
There are many things people can do to help others in poverty-stricken countries. People could go to a country and volunteer as an educator, or someone who can provide some type of health care. As a group we could host a fundraiser that would benefit the people in the poorer countries. We could collect books, canned goods, and money. These things could benefit the people in a big way.
1.One of the main things you can do that doesn’t take much time or effort is to log on to freerice.com and play some vocabulary games in order to donate rice for free! YA!
Even if it is bad overseas we should remember that there are tons of people starving in our homeland too. How are we supposed to help others if we can't even help ourselves?
that website helps donate food to kids that really need it. If we took more time donating and less time eating uneccissarily we could wipe out obesity and hunger all at once.
dsdbsrudolph is right, if students are sent to hungry nations, then they'd be willing to donate more, and that would help end hunger and poverty much more rapidly
People in the United States should help poverty stricken countries by donating money, because just a few dollars could help a family eat. Its tough for americans to imagine being poor because we dont have to go through it.
We could bring in equipment and supplies required for farming and tech them to provide for themselves. That way we don't lose the money we need but still help other people.
We could do food can drives and raise as much as we can. If you think about it you dont need or use all the food in your house so instead of throwing it out, donate it.
Two ways that I could help end poverty would be to donate things they need to a program that will deliver them, & I could donate my time at a foodbank that will deliver food to the poor kids.
I like Scotts idea about providing them with farming equipment so they could provide for themselves without needing money.
If everyone who is able sponsored a child in poverty, and participated in charity events such as walks, etc. we could bring down the poverty level in the world.
get others involved in the community such as donating food or getting involved in organizations
shelbi said We could being them things they need like clothing and shoes so they won't be without. -- that is a very easy thing to do because you can donate any unwanted clothes in one of those donation boxes, which are everywhere.
if people eat only one vegetarian/vegan meal a week (and I don't mean just a plain old salad), then millions of lives could be saved since most of the world's grain goes to feeding livestock. Eating less meat will reduce the rate of breeeding livestock, thus allowing more of the grain to be given to starving orphans
What we can do to help those in extreme poverty is donate a few items and create fundraisers. We could give over what surplus food supply that we may have.
2 ways we could end poverty and hunger is by utilizing the unused resources that we take for granted in America and use some of the money from the government bailouts to help countries in need.
Devin ruler94 said, "make more poor houses or soup kitchens," this is a very possible solution considering the low cost of these buildings.

we should stop wasting food as much. because other people don't have anyfood. if you really think about it its un fair to poor people how they have to look for their food and we don't.
Sponsor a child from a third world country. your contributions can change a child's life forever.
ReplyDeletecanned food drive for people in third world countries

ReplyDeleteParticipate in a walk for hunger that donates money and food to foreign countries.
click5krazy said to sponser a child from another country...thats a really good idea because it is directly helping someone.
ReplyDeletebirth control should be sent to these countries, it sounds mean but people over there are still reproducing, and once a child can no longer get food from its mother, it starts to starve.

Give any donation you can.. the littlest effort can make a huge difference for someone else
ReplyDeleteI think Winders125 has a good idea because if they stopped rapidly reproducing then less people would starve.
ReplyDeleteJoin a group that helps stop poverty, like OXFAM get involved with organizations to start donating
ReplyDeleteIf everyone just contriuted a couple dollars it would really add up.
ReplyDeletedsdbsrudolph has a good idea about sending people to third world countries because it makes them realize whats really going on, how lucky we are.
ReplyDeleteAs a group we can get involved in things like Invisible Children to help out those in need.
ReplyDelete1.02 billion people across the world are hungry
ReplyDeleteWith millions of people in this country who live comfortable, if we just donated a small amount of money, donations would really add up and slowly but surely, poverty and hunger would go away.
ReplyDeletePeople who go overseas and help are the ones who know how life is over there from our viewpoint. Nobody really understands how bad it is over there until they themselves see it at a firsthand view.
ReplyDeletedsdbsrudolph had a great point. I don't think anyone can truly know how great of a life we have until they see the other end of the spectrum.
ReplyDeleteI think that if everyone joins an organization, like x3js09 suggested, peolpe can make a positive impact on less fortunate countries
ReplyDeleteI would think that a good idea would be maybe taking some of the countries taxes and putting it in to feed hungry families.

ReplyDeletei think that we should send people to countries that need help and bring supplys and aid to people who need it
ReplyDeletesam moore---alex amado
we should teach countries how to spend there money wisely then on war or other things
ReplyDeletesam moore---alex amado
hiimbabyray is right we should use their taxes to support their families..
ReplyDeletealex Amado---- sam moore
click5krazy has a good idea we should all try to support atleast 1 child in need only a few dollars a day....
ReplyDeletealexamado---sam moore
click5krazy: I think that if every family who could afford like 50 cents a day did that would be amazing. :) lol
ReplyDeleteI believe if their were fundraisers everywhere you go their would be that much more money to put forth to the hungry children in Africa.
ReplyDeleteI also believe if everybody in the U.S. who could afford it should sponser a child.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Adam, if everybody just made a small donation it would make a big difference.

ReplyDelete------Mark is right, birth control would help stop the problem.
ReplyDelete--------Sarah that is a good point. We need to concentrate on poverty in our country
We could bring in equipment and supplies required for farming and tech them to provide for themselves. That way we don't lose the money we need but still help other people.

ReplyDeleteIf everyone who is able sponsored a child in poverty, and participated in charity events such as walks, etc. we could bring down the poverty level in the world.
ReplyDeleteSarah said that we should help ourselves before we try and save other nations in poverty, which I think is a good place to start.
