Getting to know your international contacts

I reviewed the Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre’s page and found some information that really made me think about poverty in different Country’s it really shocked me to see how  China's population lived below the national poverty line. Then there’s the rural poverty area which is estimated to have fallen from 250 million in 1978 to 35 million in 2000.

There are about 15 to 31 million people live in poverty in China I couldn’t believe as I was reading about how poverty is in China

I thought sense so much  was made in China there wasn’t as much as poverty there but after researching information unfortunately it is and since China receives more foreign investment than any other country in the world except for the US I thought how is this one of the major country that live below the national poverty line. There are around  4.2 million Chinese children live in absolute poverty and 8.7 million live in disadvantaged conditions who would had ever thought children are still enduring conditions like this when other are living beyond their means.

                                                                   

Just image if your child or someone you know live the way the children in China did what would you want to do and how would you want to be apart of the change.
