Responce to articles about social issues

Earlier today I was reading an article about children who are malnutritioned. It was really upsetting. The article said that a lot of children sufferfrom this in South America and Africa. The article says there are new methods of things that will help people who are malnutritioned. The author of the article kept on repeating that the U.S. is raising money for and helping these children. I wonder of other countries are also trying to help these children. I think that more people should become socially aware of this issue so they can help malnutritioned children.

I also read an article about children who are growing up in poverty. Some of the things the article mentioned shocked me. It said that about 15% of children in the United States grow up with a single mother. About half of those people are poor. When children grow up in poverty, a lot of the time they have trouble focusing in school and their grades suffer because of this. Bad grades lead to bad jobs which lead to poverty. Poverty is a tough problem too solve and I'm not sure how it should be handled. Hopefully, one day soon, a lot less people will be poor.
