 * Reflect on and answer the following questions in an essay:**
 * 1) **What is the poverty rate in your state? In your county? Does this surprise you? -** There is a lot of poverty in the world, and USA is not an exception. Poverty is the state of being extremly poor. Being extremely poor can be not only money, but also by food. In this country, there is much more poverty than you would expect, for the most part. There are very few states in this country with less than 17 - 19 of poverty. Florida is not one of those states, sadly. Florida has a poverty rate of 17%. The things that make up the poverty rate in a state can only be the counties inside of it. For example, Hillsborough County has a poverty rate of 19.1%. This is not very suprising to me, because everyting is overpriced.
 * 2) **What are the ways that you show love and walk humbly in your life with God?**
 * 3) **How does CCHD show their work for justice? Why does CCHD believe it is important for local groups or communities to be involved in the issues affecting the daily lives of people living in poverty?** - CCHD stands for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. They show their work for justice by helping their neighbors (everyone) get a better life. They apply justice to other peoples' lives, so they could have a chance to know what it feels like to have no worries about paying bills. CCHD believes that it is important for local groups or communitites for local groups or communitites to be involved in the issues affecting the daily lives of people living in poverty because if more people help those who are living in poverty, they could have a chance to help the world become a better place. They want the people of the public to be involved in some type of act of kindness. Some people do not like donating their possesions, but that is not the only thing that you can donate. One major thing that they can donate is their time. They can give their time to help build structures or other items to help the people in poverty live an easier life. Another reason why the CCHD believes this is because the actual CCHD is a domestic anti-poverty of the U.S. Bishops. The CCHD is an example of how the Church community can reach out to get involved and support other people who are in poverty by coming together to make their lives better.
 * 4) **What is a good example of a charitable organization in your county or state? What do they do? How are they providing charity in your community?**
 * 5) **What is a good example of a social justice organization in your county or state? What do they do to provide social justice to the people they server?**
