Poverty must stop!

All over the world people are starving, children are dying and things need to change. We all have to work together to make the world a better place, the first step is educating people about what is happening around the world, otherwise things will not change. We all need to open our eyes and see the world around us. That is what Global Issues is for, opening our eyes. If we don't open our eyes, the world will never change and poverty will never end. You may be thinking now, why should I care? You should care because if these things do not change, the world will never be a better place, it is up to us to try and stop poverty.

"The freedom of man, I contend, is the freedom to eat."
- Eleanor Roosevelt.

The quote explains how everyone has the freedom to eat, not just the rich people who can afford it. If people can't eat, then they can't live. Little children born in poor countries are dying of starvation, they don't even have a chance to live like a normal child because their stomachs are always empty and they can't afford food. Things like this need to change, we all need to work together if we want to change the world. The poor children in poverty deserve to eat, just like every other human being.
