help people in need
ReplyDeletedonate food water & money
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think it's very easy to help people in need. All you need is one person to make a change. By just letting people know how bad and extreme poverty really is, you can make an impact and change in somebodys life.
ReplyDeleteUm... Don't know why my name is 'b72d6824-32de-11e0-91aa-000bcdca4d7a' ... But my name is Amanda Davis..

ReplyDeleteTHOUGH*

ReplyDeleteI like where this is going... ;)
ReplyDelete;) you kno it gurll!
ReplyDeleteOwwwwwwwwwwwwww ;*
ReplyDeletePoverty is a huge problem in the world and will never stop as long as there is stupid people out there. All you can do is decrease the amount of people in poverty. But to help them we just need to invent public water purification devices.
ReplyDeleteb72d6824-32de-11e0-91aa-000bcdca4d7a that is a good point all you need is one person to make a difference
ReplyDelete2 things you could do is walk in the walk for hunger or you could donate food/ clothes. As a group we can build houses or something for people that are 2 poor 2 afford. I agree with Aaron about the stupid people out there
ReplyDeleteI think we should donate food and clothing to help those in need.If we donate money the people in poverty thwy can get fresh water and medacine to help stop the spreding of diesease
ReplyDeleteYa, people should volunteer at soup kitchens for the hungry and people should walk with me Jimmy in the walk for hunger. We raised money for that cause, what did you do. . . ? Thought so...
ReplyDeleteYeah i think we could volunteer to help with hunger. We could also raise money by doing other fundraisiers other than the walk for hunger.
ReplyDeletei disagree with shelby. i think that the poor people can solve this problem if they really wanted to. we should help alittle, but we have our own problems that we must take care of first before helping other countries. the people with hunger should travel to find food and earn money so they can buy crops and make their own food privately and not have to worry about paying for food anymore.
ReplyDeletei agree , i think we should volunteer to help hunger , donate cans of food, clothing and things we dont need to help these people survive
ReplyDeleteHii , my names Amanda Neil & There are many things that we can do to stop hunger. i think if every school had a bucket & people would bring in canned goods during the school year that we can help reduce the number of hungry people.Also while going through you're clothese , instead of throwing them away that more people should donate them because there are many people in need.
ReplyDeleteMy names Lauren Felaccio. I agree with Amanda, i think that every school should have a center for donations for people in need. To help fight poverty and hunger, we should set up more fundraisers to get food and money to send to people and also spread the word around to donate to local shelters or orginizations.
ReplyDeletefor every 1 person thats average/wealthy can help 1 person thats in poverty. every person can make a difference.
ReplyDeleteto help poverty as an individual you could spread the word about donations and fundrasers to help those who have no food or no house. you could donate money to help families in poverty
ReplyDeleteYou could do small things like start a fundraiser at your school or simply writing a check and sending it to the hunger project.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many people in the world that have more money than they need. They could be the ones that could donate a lot of what is needed in these countries.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Daniel. If one person starts a fundraiser or something then a lot more people could follow and help.
ReplyDeleteConnor had a good idea in saying that we should volunteer at soup kitchens for the hungry and walk in the walk for hunger.
ReplyDeleteThere are many things that we can do to stop hunger such as...if every school had a bucket people would bring in canned goods during the school year that we can help reduce the number of hungry people. Other helpfull things like that
ReplyDeleteI think that if our government put enough time and thopugh into outreach to other countries a lot of problems could be solved
ReplyDeleteI think that we need to raise awareness on the issues because the more people know the more likely they will want to help.
ReplyDeleteWe need to understand the economy of the world and where we stand. Our lives our not that bad, we can donate money and send food. I agree with courtney that we need to raise awareness so more people are involved. Sb chillen
ReplyDeleteEveryone has had good ideas so far but the thing is putting them into practice. We may all say that we could help, but the hard thing is actually following through,
ReplyDeletewe should follow through helping those in need
ReplyDeleteWe may be one person but we can still make a difference. We need to speak up. We can even raise money and donate food to pantries. As a group we can walk for hunger and take a stand together.
ReplyDeleteLike Courtney said maybe we need to inform people about this and raise awareness.
Individually, we could donate food and other supplies we take advantage of everyday. Another way to help decrease poverty is to stop saying we're going to do something about it, and actually do it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with courtney, awarness is the key.
ReplyDeleteWell we could obviously donate, anything from food, water, or money to soap, or socks, or clothes. We could, as a group, get together to try to raise supplies or money to send over to poverty stricken areas or even raise enough money to go over there ourselves and try to help them in any way possible to make a difference.
ReplyDeletethings you could do is the walk for hunger or donate food, water, or clothes. As a group we can have fundraisers to help out the needy like food drives and such. I also agree with Aaron and Jimmy about the stupid people out there
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tyler. alls we can really do is to donate money, clothes, food, water. i also agree that we could raise money to help people.
ReplyDeleteIf everyone donates something to these groups it would make such a huge difference in the lives of all the people living with hunger.

If we break to down to basica thoughts it is very easy to help eat the world. We sell food at fast food places for 1 dollar if we were to sell thoughts to starving countries not much expense whould appear. As a group, we can prevent waste of food not eaten. We throw away food everyday that could go to starving countries, if not that not buy food that we will not eat that the store. i volunteer at the women place in boston to help serve food to hungry women and if we all did this we can soove hunger in Massachusetts.
ReplyDeletewe can help people who are starving by simply raising awarness of what is going on, nobody is so heartleess that they won't help people who are dying of starvation. As a group we could start fundraisers and awareness groups to make people realize that people need help in other areas, even in america people are starving and nobody thinks that they can help and they throw away so much food and its stupid because anything will help!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyones opinon on the issue!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with shaun, if the government put more effort into it, we could help more people
ReplyDeleteWe can help end poverty by donating food and clothes to those in need. To combat hunger we could create more programs and funds that help support devastated families.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anthony, we definately throw away alot of food that others would use.
ReplyDeletewe could all donate money to countries in need of food. or donate money to help them buy the food they need.
ReplyDeletei also agree with tyler, donating things like soap would make it so they would have more money to buy food
i agree with anthony, if everyone chipped in it could make a huge difference
ReplyDelete-kyle okeefe
One person can only do so much, but you can make a big difference if you set your mind to it. An idea that one person can do by themselves is just strictly raise awareness to the concept. Also as a group you can spread your knowledge and help raise money all together! I agree with Anthony and think that if everyone donated a little bit of their time we would help end the issue much faster!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sean Townsend, if they had the money, they wouldnt need food or other things because they could buy them.
ReplyDeleteWhat we could do to soften the affects of poverty is to have a food drive or ask for donations.
ReplyDeleteAlso we could raise awareness of the problem to get people to understand whats going on.
I agree with Anthony.
ReplyDeleteIf we could all just pitch in a little help we could change the world.
i also agree with anthony, we all just need to step up and do a little to make a big difference
ReplyDeleteif every one person in the world dolated food water or money once everyday that would extremely lessen world hunger and poverty.It doesnt just happen WE have to make it happen.
ReplyDeleteThose who are in extreme poverty deserve to be treated to as soon as possible. I think that the restaurants that throw away there food that isnt eaten at the end of the day should be taken to places such as food pantries or the homeless shelters to eat. They will not care if it is a day old or the left overs- as long as its not stale or dangerous to eat. This would help end hunger for some places but also to end hunger I think the government should stop focusing on how we should eat healthier and actually work on how to give food to the unhealthy. Even if it encouraged to eat healthier, it is way too expensive. Instead of spending money on encouraging healthy eating, the money should go to the people who cant eat at all! I also agree with Sean who says if everyone donates we can help!
ReplyDeletewe could play freerice on freerice.com and give rice to people that need it and we could stop wasting food.
ReplyDeleteI think an easy way to help end hunger as a group is collect non perishable foods and send them to countries that need it. Also, as individuals we can waste less food and only take what we can eat and donate foods and money to help people in poor small countries that dont get good meals everyday. and Leanna brings up a good point that the government should help to show Americans to not be wasteful and help us realize that we are lucky to have food avaliable to us when we need it.
ReplyDeleteHow to help:
ReplyDelete-write to Congress
- organize your community into donating to charities
-donate extra food to less fortunate
I like lee lee's idea
we could help people i need of care by donations of food and water
ReplyDeletePoverty is becoming a huge problem in the world. we can do many things but the main things to help would be donating clothes, food, and water. also by making the government realise that we need to make our laws more fair and compassionate to people in need.
