The National Center for Children in Poverty is a website that is very informative. It lists articles, tools, publications, and many other resources that one can use to find out information about poverty and what can be done to prevent and/or help turn it around. The News Room link is one that I find very interesting because it provides up to date information regarding policymaking, news releases, and important facts about child poverty.
I did not realize that there were so many people and children who suffer from poverty, and even more so that I am currently living in poverty. When your mind is so geared towards how blessed you are, I suppose it is easy to not see how bad things really can be, especially when you know that around the corner is someone much worse off than you.
Felicia you're right, there are still many people living in poverty even after all the resources that this country have to offer. Those that are not living in poverty are truly blessed.
