Poverty is a termite eating away at a child’s heart, mind and self-esteem. And poverty is a liar.
Poverty is overwhelming, frightening and debilitating, but not invincible.
Poverty is a monster. Poverty is a cancer. Poverty is a thief.
Poverty is a prison cell with the key in sight, but just out of reach. Poverty is a lack of opportunity.
Poverty is a plague, chain and a cockroach. It’s also the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Where is poverty?
It isn’t in the future for our children.

I agree. It is global, let us not forget those close or far away.
I love your last 2 sentences:
“Where is poverty?
It isn’t in the future for our children.”

LOVED these pictures! along with the message
Such beautiful children and such chilling words. I hate that children live in poverty around the world, but there are many living in gluttony and abundance. So much can be shared, but isn’t. I am so proud to be a part of Compassion and all of the work that is being done around the world to fight poverty.
