Blog Action Day 2008 Poverty

Poverty could happen anytime, or anywhere. Poverty is the condition of no money, no food, no place to live, and sometimes, nothing to eat. Poverty can happen to anyone. People might make fun or tease others because they're below the poverty line but no one should be laughing. People out there need a shelter and food. 12% of the United States live under the poverty line. That's 12 out of 100 people. There are over 6 billion people that live on Earth. People below the poverty line live in beat-up cars, old trailers, and sometime nowhere. But people can make that change. Instead of buying a toy, put some of that money in a charity. 1 person may not be a lot, but everyone can make a change.
