The writers of the blog on child poverty do a great job of showing how many children are malnourished and often times do not even get to eat for days at a time. The pictures that are displayed on this website say more than even words can explain. There are statistics provided that demonstrates the appalling life style these innocent children are faced with each day. This site is a Christian Blog were a team of writers add stories about the poverty situations in different areas of the world. I believe that the blog is maintained to inform readers that there are problems like this in the United States. Not every person is fortunate enough to eat every day. I wish that a video would be provided on this site that showed a brief day in the life of a child in poverty.
This site appeals to the people who want to make a difference in this world and put an end to poverty. These children have done nothing to deserve these kinds of conditions. They are not only faced with starvation, but their health is now affected. Their parents try to provide food for them, but finding a good job is nearly impossible. On this site, you are able to sponsor a child. They provide some background on the child and you have the opportunity to select that individual or pick another one. Readers are able to leave comments on the stories that are posted. After reading a story, you can rate the material on a scale of one to five. There is an area on the site were the highest rated post are listed for you. It is very easy to follow the website and all the great information that is provided for you.
There are numerous stories provided on this site of different situations in different parts of the world. The images show the pain these children are experiencing. They cannot perform their everyday activities because they have not eaten in several days. I believe that this site is more appealing to readers because it deals with kids who are faced with extremely horrific situations every day of their life. These kids are born into these situations and are never given the opportunity to better their lives.
This blog should make people be extremely thankful for everything they have. We do not even know what it would be like to go a day without food. We need to make a stand to end poverty and provide equally for everyone in this world. There is not one person better than anyone else because God created us all equally. Everyone needs to accept the fact that we do have situations in the world like this. It will take everyone to make a difference. A person could donate a penny a day and in one year have donated $365. We live in a world of such advanced technology and somehow cannot figure out how to take care of all of our people.
