As we always know that POVERTY is serious in Africa (particularly), and in other developing or developed nations. Poverty is one of causes for other problems – social (crime, overpopulation), economy (burden, unemployed), health (disease, malnutrition).. If leave unresolved, these would be the factors that make the poor even financially poorer. The cycle never ends…
Despite physical factors, the most important problem is… (how to say) 1st, are the poor want to stand up and get out from their problem? 2nd, are the poor exposed to the how-to (training) or acquire knowledge (education) to solve poverty? They certainly do not want to be poor! However, many are struggling in hunger, suffering malnutrition and diseases, never been educated and are dying... HELP!
On the other hand, recent global financial crisis, which is headlines of any press, has stunned or frightened the NON- poor people. Many are screaming ‘Oh, my god!’, while they are eating healthy meal (meat, vegetable, rice, fruits) if not luxury, watching news on TV and listening good music at nice home. Of course, many are unfortunate too, who are affected - lose jobs and in big debts.. (excuse me) but think about it, even if they (more or less educated, skillful) become bankrupt, they still can survive normally (no excess money, though). So, don't feel down, please..
Non-poverty groups are (will be) 'POOR', in terms of entertainment, shopping, luxury.. (financial crisis). This is the problem of having money nowadays, with educated and skillful. Not to say not good (great life, indeed), because I might be one of them in non-poor category who is doing same thing. What ever it is.. we could do something for the poor, everything possible we can, to assist or aid the poverty people who wish so much to get out of poverty sooner!
