Child Poverty and Hunger
Lives of children are being affected everyday because of poverty or lack of food,its hard thinking about these things and seeing these happening in other countries.Even though this affects millions of people all around the world I always wondered how a child, a small speck in this world could survive each day thinking about how their lives could be better.What worries me the most is that nearly one in five children under the age of five in this developing world is underweight.As a teen I think about how my life was a kid,I was always a happy kid,growing up. I never experienced starvation or having to beg for food. Even growing up in a poor country I noticed most of the kids there had to do illegal things just for food or just to earn some money. I grew up in the Philippines. I know that Philippines is not one of the developing countries but I know a lot people need a lot of help. Two thirds of the worlds hungry live only in 7 countries:Bangladesh,China,The Democratic Republic of the Congo,Ethiopia,India, Indonesia and Pakistan.

I really like this blog, You used very good words and you explained everything we need to know, Good job. Are there more countries in hunger?
ReplyDeleteYes,a lot more countries are in poverty or lack of food,but they are forgotten,even the smaller countries are ignored or not given any attention at all.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is a problem and most politisions are focusing on growing there city which have less problems than places in Africa.
ReplyDeleteI like how you mentioned a country that is in need of alot of help,even though Africa is always used to describe a country in poverty,they deserve as much equal help as the other countries.
