Notes for # 1
 * 1 out of 6 Americans live in poverty
 * You are living in poverty USA if you make less than $22,811 a year, which is 1,900 a month. This will not take you very far.
 * $565 dollars a month for basic shelter, utilities $250 a month, and gas and maintenance is $345 a month.
 * Hunger can be a problem when you are living at the poverty line because you may not be able to afford it, so you deal with being hungry.
 * for health care with the government you still have to pay $220 a month.
 * The poverty rate in our county is 19.1 and it does not surprise me because there is a lot of people who don't have anything.

 * Paragraph 1:**

There are many people who don't have enough to live comfortably. For example, some people don't have enough food, don't have a good home or don't have a home at all, and also don't have a good education. This is called poverty. Poverty is a very sad thing.There are 1 out of 6 Americans going through poverty. In our state the poverty rate is 16.5% and in our county the poverty rate is 19.1%. This doesn't surprise me because I always see people on the side of the road asking for money, asking to help find a job, and also asking for money. I think us Americans who have a good home and have enough to live comfortably should try to help others.


 * Paragraph 3:**

There are many ways the Catholic Campaign for Human Development show their work for justice. For example, they try to address the root causes of problems facing our communities, they help change social structures that contribute to suffering and injustice at home and around the world, they work to improve the education system, they promote peace, and they support environmental protection laws. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development believe it is important for local groups or communities to be involved in the issues affecting the daily lives of people living in poverty because they want us help too and they want the poor to know that they are involved too. They are allowed to make decisions and choose actions that affect their lives today. The CCHD offers a hand up, not down.
