Poverty

One-third of deaths, about 18 million people a year or 50 thousand a day, are due to poverty. One-third of deaths are due to poverty. Out of 3 people one will die from old age, one will die from Cancer or another disease and the last will die from poverty. So why are we not trying to help. Craig Kielburger started Free the Children when he was twelve. I think that since a kid started this we should be doing something too.



I personally have contributed in our community personally by contributing to food drives but I still think that we should be contributing more!!! Kids that are about 10 go to Africa to build wells! People who are 30 could do something since ten year-olds do something. Yes, they have a job and kids but still they can do something.

In conclusion, no matter who you are, if you have kids or a job or both, you can do something in your community, donate money, volunteer at the food bank, you don't have to go to Africa.

  4. Wyatt, this is a good first post. Starting off with statistics is a good approach to an introductory paragraphs - it grabs your readers attention. Try to focus the entire post around one main idea and finish off with the same power you started with. Nice work.
