getting to know your international contact










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.
