Title Page/Introduction

Welcome!

This blog was created to focus on the eradication of the major problem of poverty and hunger both locally as well as globally. Each and every day about 25,000 individuals die from poverty or hunger related causes. Because of this outrageous number that continues to grow, the Millenium Development Goal of Eradicating Poverty and Hunger was created to try to put a stop to poverty and hunger by the year 2015. I chose to focus my research this semester on this Millenium Development Goal and have enjoyed learning more about what can be done to put a stop to the issue. In this blog you will see stories of individuals who have gone through poverty and hunger first-hand, the effects that poverty and hunger can have on an individual, statistics and information regarding poverty and hunger in Idaho and throughout the world, as well as what YOU can do to help put a stop to this issue. I hope you enjoy visiting this blog!
