Poverty

Today is Blog Action Day, and the theme is Poverty.

Jeffrey Sacks, from Columbia University has been advocating for many years now, the goal to end poverty.

As an economist, he has looked into the problem scientifically, and he sees a way out. He has done work already to end poverty and stated a series of landmarks to accomplish this goal.

He wrote a book, "The End of Poverty", where you can read how this can be accomplished.

I was born in a poor country, Mexico, and now I work in one of the poorest states in this country, Guerrero, I can attest to the determination of people in all walks of life to end this way of life, the life of poverty.

We all loose when many kids around the world go to bed hungry, this should not happen. A better future is possible.

Another man to remember today is Muhammad Yunus, for creating Grameen. He got the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.


We have to look at poverty's face, to finish with it. As long as we deny its existence is not going to end.
