Poverty: It is a condition in which a person or community is deprived of, and or lacks the essentials for a minimum standard of well-being and life. These essentials may be material resources such as food, safe drinking water, and shelter, or they may be social resources such as access to information, education, health care, social status, political power, or the opportunity to develop meaningful connections with other people in society.
We went to a slum area in Quezon City for our Gawad Kalinga (in English it means "to give care"). There were around 20 of us and we had a program to help the youth of about 50+ children and teach them basic values and give them the attention and care that they definitely weren't getting from their parents.
I saw this child walking around barefooted and I saw all the wounds on his legs. I couldn't help but feel sad for him. I hope that someday he will have a chance for a better future...
May I use it for a group against poverty?
I'll give credit to you.
I would really appreciate that if you had time to read this article, and maybe help out.
