Poverty, you put it in the back of your mind when you walk past a homeless person on the street or the guy at the bus stop selling waters because he can't pay for himself to eat. Poverty isn't something we should be ashamed of, it's something we should fight for. The poverty rate in my county is 15% while the poverty rate in Florida is 17%. These facts to surprise me. Thinking that all of these people who have no food, shelter, or a place to even go home is sad. The percentage of children who are affected by poverty is 25%. To think that I go to a private school and have a good education and have a good life together with my family makes me very sad. Let's find out what CCHD does to help those in need.

CCHD want to change the social structure that contribute to the suffering and they help those who are in poverty. They clothe the naked, feed the hungry, care and heal the ones that are sick, and visit those who are in prison. CCHD believes it is important for local groups or communities to be involved in the issues affecting the daily lives in poverty because they need everyone to help out and to help the people in poverty. Breaking the cycle of poverty by helping helping low-income people participate in decisions that affect their lives, families and communities is one way CCHD is helping the people in poverty.

Ways I can show love and walk humbly with God is I can help out at organizations and donate food, clothes, and other items that I don't use anymore. Other than helping those in poverty I can recycle. Recycling is important because we need to help the earth. There are many other ways I can walk humbly with God.
