Make Poverty History

I often get so much from our discussions at TABLEtalk and really enjoyed our recent evening discussing issues of poverty.  Having a really wide variety of nationalities adds such a great dynamic to our conversations.  

As part of our evening we took time in silence to look at various photos depicting poverty.  Here's just a taste of student's comments  ...



"Food is wasted everyday and yet people are starving!"
"Drops of water, worth a million for this poor guy."
"An act of kindness."
"It's worth sharing, even if you don't have much to share."
"Kindness is the most beautiful feature of our lives."











"People talk about how petroleum products cause cancer.
What about her?"
"Why does a young kid have to work in a dump?"

"Children are the future.
We should take better care of them."






"Have they ever known, can they perceive,
of anything different?"

"It's stupid that people think of war first rather than helping each other!! Where does that take us?"
"War is good for the rich, at the expense of the poor."
"Disgusting!"
