Human Development Essay:

(1) Do you know the poverty rate in your state or county? Well the poverty rate in my state, which is Florida, is 17. Now is this surprising to me? No, because if you go around the streets of Florida, you will find a lot of people on the side of the streets asking for money and saying that they have kids and they lost a job and need money. It is sad to think that people can't get a job when they need a little money. They can even go through their neighborhood and ask if they need help with something and if they can get paid a little for doing that job for them. Most of the people that are asking for money usually are trying to get money so they can get something bad like drugs, cigarettes, or alcohol. The poverty rate of Florida is one of the highest ratings in the US. Florida has the lowest poverty rate if you divide the US in different sections. The sections are below 11%, 11-13%, 13-15%, 15-17%, above 17% and Florida is the second lowest state in the above 17% rating. (Interactive Poverty Map | State and County Level Poverty Information)

(3) The center of the CCHD is to help people who are in unfair situations and guide them on how to transform their lives. They find resolutions so the outcome isn't poverty. The CCHD doesn't just give people money, but they give the people the tools for a better life. They will do anything to help someone if that person will cooperate with them. If they don't do the right things then they will not help them. (Who We Are)

(4) The CCHD is a free education on how making good choices and living as we are taught in the Bible. They can make a better life for themselves. Some charitable organization make the prices of the clothing, or other things that people need, very low or even free. Some clothing can be worth one dollar and if it is just a shirt that is very thin, they make it free. They also can give the people food so that they will not starve. (Two Feet of Love in Action) The Metropolitan Ministries also help the people that need food or clothing, or things they need. Some of the people that go there are homeless and need clothing, so then they will give them clothing.( We Are Metropolitan Ministries)

(5) The CCHD helps those Catholics with a strong faith who, because of baptism, follow the scriptures. Those who accept the Eucharist and live with God. CCHD is founded by many generous Catholics and is collected annually at many parishes in the US. They also will help the people that are not Catholic but they have to be nice enough so that they can help that person. (Catholic Charities of Central Florida) The Salvation Army is also a social justice organization because they see if kids that live in bad neighborhoods can come to the organization after school so they can learn about good things in our world. They also get people from actual jobs and see if the kids can talk to them and see how they work. (The Salvation Army)

(2) How do you show love and walk humbly with God? Well one way that you can show your love and walk humble with God is when you go to a fast food restaurant, and you go through the drive through, you can pay for the person behind you and then they will be so thankful and it could change the day of that person. Another way to walk humble with God is just by going to mass. If all you have to do is just go to mass to show that you love God is something that is very small for what God does for us. Every time your heart beats, God is saying yes and that is what is giving you life on this planet. So you should do more then just go to mass and pray at the beginning of every day and at the end of every day. One last way that you can show your love and walk humble with God is by going to someone on the streets and give them food. If they don't take the food and only want money then you know that they are making their own decision and that they will regret doing that one day. If they take the food and are very grateful that you gave them the food, then you know that they really need help and are going to need someone to make sure that they are fine every day and that is when you can bring them to a charitable organization to help them.
