Child poverty.

I think the main probelm is we are to busy looking at the rest of the world instead of our own back yard. If we are unable to solve our own poverty issue how can we truely solve the world? I think if Canada and the US start taking care of there issues first we then can show the world how to sholve there. The second thing is greed and a countries debt. When a country can not pay off its debt why after 10 years we wipe the slate clean. I owe you this amount, but you own me this amount so boom thats debt is wiped out. But no, greed blinds us. Greed is going to be our downfall and the stone in our coffin.

I think one small way is to form some band or group so that like minded people in the west can visit and raise some people in poor countries so that these poor people can really do something worthwhile for their own people 10 years later. I think poor people need capital and ideas, and that people in the rich countries can help, then poor people themselves can take up the project. I don't know if this idea is feasible though!!!

..I actually think it would be better if the people were motivated to organize and do something.. I'm just too leery of giving government anymore resources and control over things.. more programs, bigger governemnt.. keeps morphing that way seems to me.. oh well, pardon my paranoia.. - I guess we want the governments to do something because we don't know what to do about it.. Ya know I had a dream once that rivers of waters were flowing out of all the churches.. out into the streets and the world.. I think the churches dropped the ball.. now all we're gonna be stuck with is big brother.. It's crazy that there are so many things in the world that should be fixed.. like starvation and genocides.. but what it would take, perhaps is a large and strong union of nations to (first of all agree) and form or better yet strengthen a world governing body.. But no sooner will they agree.. but they'll likely start to abuse the great power now in their hands.. Well, I guess what we can do is pressure our country's governemt to get involved.. send resources.. money.. teachers and workers.. Isn't that what you said to begin with? Hey, great idea.. I think I'm going to have to get my senator's e-mails, and get in the habit of paying attention and sending off an opinion when I have one.. look how much good they did when people started to speak out against and look into "aparteid" in South Africa.. :))

i think whole world should join to alleviate this everlasting problem

you do it first by having fewer children. we are at a point where resources are going to start getting thin and either need to kill the old people or have fewer babies. This goes for all people everywhere.

I wish the world would stop being so selfish and band togeather to stop world wide hunger...This world holds enough food so that no one child or adult should go hungry...I pray that eyes will open up so belly's could fill up...

I think it starts not with a nation or a government of a continent rather it start with ourselves. Nothing can be done if one is not cooperative enough to reach this goal. One thing is for parents to be more aware of there surroundings and think of a good family planning before making lots of children that they really can't support.
