Getting to know your International contacts

I have not receive any feed back from the professionals outside of the U. S. so I did the alternative  activity. Podcast and researching the website http://www.childhoodpoverty.org/. After looking at this website and reading it I learned that there are over 600 million children world-wide live in absolute poverty and that poverty is passed along from one family to another affecting the childs health and education because if  a child is hungry they can not function like they should because they may be sick from not eating right or their health may be at risk. The Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre is  a collaborative research and  policy programme which involves Save the Children, the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC) and partners in China, India, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia. Running from 2001 to 2005, it aims to contribute to global poverty reduction efforts by understanding what causes poverty and how can it be prevented and teaching or training others how to pull from poverty.
