Being a teacher dealing with families from all types of life, I find that their are kids who are dealing with poverty within the family. poverty is a case of families who are struggling to make it day by day. poverty can go so many different ways. poverty doesn't always mean having a lack of money. poverty also means that have a lack of education, not being able to read. this here is a sad case all over the world. this is a topic that i feel is a serious matter and need resources to find ways to cut the poverty rate in the world. not just in my community but all over the world. their are resources that will allow officials and teachers in the community to find out ways that will allow us as people to better assist children and families who are living in poverty. we  have websites  such as www. thesistersofmary.com/en/.org. also you have the " National Center for Children in poverty www.nccp.org. this websites speaks on ways to help childcare & Early Education.child care research promotes high-quality research and its use in policy-making by providing online access to thousands of journal articles ,Research reviewers, and policy briefs. this web site  supports new research by making available public access to childcare and early education data. the " NCCP " shows that more than 16 million children in the United States 22% of all children -Live in Families incomes below the federal poverty level.- 23,550 a year for a family of four. Research shows that , on average , families need an income of about twice that level to cover basic expenses . Using this standard ,45 % of children live in low-income families. article " Young Children in Deep Poverty " Author : Mercedes Ekono, Yang Jiang, and Sheila Smith publication Date : January 2016,U.S. family of three living in deep poverty survives on an annual income below $ 9, 276.00. the struggle to raise children on such a meager income is not a rare circumstance among U.S. families.

 But their are website s that are very helpful when it come to access on data on poverty.http://www.icphusa.org and http://www.nccp.org,also http://www.childrendefense.org/policy-priorities/ending-child-poverty/.org. The National Center for Children in poverty provides information on where the families who are living in poverty can find organizations that assist in food programs such as" WIC " Programs for children. this program is a good programs for mothers who can't afford milk as well as healthy food for kids.

The policy that was very important policy was  the policy on the immigrants. this policy was important because there are a lot of families that are wanting to live a better life for their family. Being in a country that want allow you to work or get a education ,it is very sad. immigrants have the hardest time making a successful life when dealing with these sort of issues. getting a education and being able to work is very important . immigrants in this day and time ,now have the opportunity to have the life that they desire to have for themselves and their family. even though we have some politicians who still would love to see immigrants continue to stay in their country where they cant work and get honest pay, woman can't further their education and become successful such as others who aren't immigrants. the Immigrants policy here In  the United States still have a lot of work to be done. President Obama have made away where Latinos and Mexicans to come to America  to work, get honest pay,and their family can also work as well and receive a education.  their are some resources that have a lot of helpful information on this immigrants policies such as { Immigrants policies.org} . the Immigration policy center ..... this website shares the database on defending DAPA and Expanded DACA before the Supreme Court.

Another policy that really needs attention is the policy on religion. In some countries their are some people who can't practice the religion that they would like to practice. www.pewresearch.org,August 01,2014  speaks on Muslim countries prefer women to dress in public covered with a Vail. to where as in America our women doesn't haft to keep our bodies covered. with the author of the Univ. of Michigan study  for more information on survey methods and to see how responses differed by gender,age,education and religion. this article allowed me to see how there is an importance in the Muslim world. how women should dress in public. my opinion i feel that a woman should be able  to dress the way they want to dress.in this article it was a survey  from the University of Michigan's Institute foe Social Research conducted in seven Muslims majority countries. { Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan,Saudi Arabia and Turkey ). these countries shows that most people prefer that a woman be completely covered up at all times, even their hair. but for us woman our bodies and our hair doesn't haft to be covered. it it made to be our choice, the the joy of being in a free country where their is so many opportunists for men and women.over all, most of the people who participate din the survey agree that women who hair and ears are completely covered by a white hijab , is the most appropriately dressed for public. another helpful article on this matter " America's True History of Religious Tolerance " www.Smithsonianmag.com.
