Human Development Essay

You may or may not be wondering about people in poverty. They may not even have crossed your mind. While you are worried about when you will get your next cell phone, there are people worried about when they will be getting their next meal. While you are trying to find a new outfit, they are trying to find a new job. What I want to do is to help them.

Not just give money to the poor box at mass, but draw attention to it; to them, the people in need; so, that way, you will want to help them too. 25% of children in Florida alone are in poverty. 18% are women and 14% are seniors. You may not realize this, but one in every four kids are in poverty. That’s a lot if you really think about it. In the United States? A 21% children poverty rate and a 15% overall. That’s about one-two people in poverty in every ten. (‘’ Spotlight on Poverty”)

CCHD, or Catholic Campaign for Human Development is an “anti-poverty program of the U.S Bishops” says USCCB. CCHD does a great deal for our society’s poverty today by giving a helping hand to those in need. The CCHD also helps teach and educate on poverty, along with its causes and Catholic Social teachings related. CCHD is all over the United States(Catholic Campaign for Human Development)

A charitable organization I have come across that really speaks to me is metropolitan ministries. Metropolitan ministries is a non- profit organization to help those in poverty, in need. As metropolitan ministries says “Many are just a rent or a utility payment away from losing shelter." Metropolitan ministries is there to help you buy food, help you pay your utility bill when you can't. They are a "self- sufficiency" program and help anyone who needs help. I voulunteered at metropolitan ministries once and it changed my life. To see the smile on their faces, the hope in their eyes, it just makes me feel complete. ( www.metromin.org)

Fighting against injustice through harmony, or F.A.I.T.H, is a social justice organization that works to build relationships among people. F.A.I.T.H. is an organization in the state of Florida and is funded by donations. ( "Faith Fighting Against Injustice Towards Harmony." )

In conclusion, I believe that helping people in poverty can make a big difference in our world. I also believe that helping, is one of the most noble things an organization can do. I love and walk humbly with God when I am going to church and praying to God. I do this every day it changed my life.
