Welcome and thanks for reading.

Poverty Let's us work together to minimize poverty and hunger, regardless of what so ever... If you do not have time to read this page, please, visit the following site for real pictures. http://www.photovault.com/Link/People/o/vPoverty3rdW/POVVolume01.html "Under extreme poverty food becomes an item. And yet you don't know what it is like to see people die from extreme hunger. You don't know what it feels to see your mother or your child die out of hunger. You don't even know what it is like not to be able to even breastfeed your baby because there is nothing in the breast. You haven't even seen a mother try hard to squeeze some liquid from her breast to keep her baby alive. Do you know how old that baby is? Just born. And what is everybody talking about? Politics, economics etc, etc. Women and children are dying as we speak. What are we doing about it to make a difference? We have to make a difference for the sake of humankind. Please!" Gertrude Tembo, Zambia. "Every single human on this earth can be a part of the problem or the solution. Don؟t give someone a fish show them how to fish. How about some infrastructure assistance, like clean water and building some bridges and roads. People in co-operation with each other. Its the year 2002! I'm sure the insects in my backyard are better organised and advanced than the human race at present." Tracy, Australia. Now, it's my turn. I do not know Gertrude nor Tracy. I am thankful to them. Last night, I loged on the Internet searching for a mail reader program. Poverty and hunger were out of my mind. While the downloading was going on, i wanted to have a free quick look to those bars and popups. I was attracted by an icon with a so skinny child's picture. From there the old pain comes again. I spent two hours searching more about poverty and hanger around the world. Then , I have decided to do few things to help , even little, to minimize this problem. One of these things is this simple web page. I am aware of this matter very well. My major is economics. But, I have get shocked by the gap (between real producers and real consumers- because those in between them TAKE by constraints in the name of "gain" or "marketing" or whatever NOTa small share of profit without a real labour except that income transfered by them). I have't get shocked by the data. For axample, I knew, 20 years ago, that 2% of all the population take more than 90% of national income. That's means less than 10% of naional income goes to 98% of the people of that African country. Also, i know tha sa fact that several millions of children die every year as a result of hunger. I take market's mechanism into consideration. In fact, the lion share of income goes to factors of production (labour, capital, land and natural resources) via a relative competitive market. I am also aware of indirect factors of production (time and risk). So, most of the income is distributed by the relative market to the five factors. The rest of income is a small percent or it should be. I would say 1%-10%. That's social gab. It may goes higher in upnormal condtions such as a war or a natural disaster. This gap should be covered and made up by charity. The problem is a parasitical "factor" that takes income that's NOT belong to it. Therefore, it must not have it via the market by the law. What is a parasitical "factor"? Any factor except: labour, capital, land and natural resources, risk, time, luck, and heritage. This issue needs more explinations and details that may take many pages, about 300 pages . I may do it in a book when I have free time and a good publisher who does't ask me to pay money and offers that book in a low price as it could be. Only, I want two thing. First, my copyright. Second, 1% of profit (if there is any) to go to any trusted charity fund. It is also a good idea if I make it under a supervsion of a good school that offer me a phd degree via the internet, without the fees except the registeration and materials for the study. I have to work here to feed my self and my family. Charity is an example of luck. In short, I believe that poor people are poor, because, first: some rich people take the rights and income which belong to those poor people (even if it is a charity!). Second, both some rich and some normal (not poor nor rich) do not give charity. Right now, many babies, childern, women, and men are facing death and dangerous problems as a result of poverty, hunger, and lack of basic health care and inexpensive medicines. Do we know that by $1, one of us pay , he/she saves a human being not to die? By just $1 you pay, you save 3-7 babies not to live blind all their life. When a person pay $1 a month for a year, he/she save 12 persons not to day or about 60 babies not to live blind all their life. "Each day in the developing world, more than 30,000 children die from mostly preventable and treatable causes such as diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, measles or malaria. These diseases are far more deadly to children who are stunted or underweight. In fact, more than 2 million children each year have severe visual problems due to lack of vitamin A". We must ensure that our help goes where it is supposed to, for those who really need it. One must ensure that aid is delivered to the right people. So, it is our duty to find out a trusted system or a trusted fund. I really do not like to name or list any fund or sytem. It is your job to find out. Please, keep in mind that your little help in term of money or otherwise makes a big deal to minimize the problem of poverty and hunger. Please, please, do not think that you may not help, because you are not rich. Comparing to those who do not have: food, money, clothes, home, and medicine, we are for sure so rich. Please, take few seconds and imagine yorself in their case, how lucky you will be when you have an aid. I am sure when I help on this issue, several poor people get a help. I am glad and broud to do such acion. If you like to search more on this issue, please , let me know your results and views. Click here to email me .
