Childhood Poverty Research

In this week assignment I was suppose to get in contact with professionals that deals with poverty in their area. I was not able to get in contact with any one so I am doing the alternative assignment on childhood poverty. What I have learn in this research that children live in poverty everyday in many state. Many are living in a house hold that is below the poverty line and not able to take care of their family. I learn that in early childhood that malnutrition can damage a child learning and can also have poor health. This issues can lead from generation to generation unless someone stop and think about what is going on and try to change the situation from a bad situation to a better environment for their family. The help that is needed is not enough to help families children are still dying with disease in different country, staying in shelters are on the street. Where is the help to help these families? How can people help advocate for the families to get the support and resources to help the families get into a better environment? I believe if people really want to help families they will but families must want the help and use the information to put their family in a better environment so their children can have a well education and good health. If I could I would try to help every family that I could and put them in a very good environment and help the parents to get on their feet to better themselves to help their children have a healthy life. I do not like seeing family living on the street or living in a home that is not worth living in. Studying this poverty has taught me to care for children no matter what race they are if they are in need I am there to help in any way I can. This has also taught me to be aware of poverty around me in my professional field.
