Poverty.com is a moving website dedicated to informing citizens of this world about a phenomenon that kills innocent thousands of men, women, and children each day--hunger. Not many of us living in developed countries can say that we've ever gone without adequate food for days let alone weeks. In fact, the United States is atempting to tackle obesity and other potentially life-threatening conditions such as diabetes. But isn't chronic hunger just as deadly, if not more! We were please to stumble across this site and we urge you to visit it and read about the big problems plaguing underdeveloped countries (AIDS, TB, pneumonia, etc). The information is very well presented and keot short for busy people like you and I!
Even more interactive is poverty.com's sister site, freerice.com. Here you can play a fun game to strengthen your vocabulary while donating rice through the UN World Food program. The site's creators are committed to both providing free vocabulary to anyone who plays and rice for the impoverished.
