Poverty in My Eyes

I think that the poor are very unhappy people. They often feel rejected and alone. In my opinion, the poor people must be respected and helped.

Today, the poor people are not as many as in the past, but they still need help. Many of them were born poor, and they cannot do anything to change this. That’s why they need help.

There are a lot of orphans in this world… this is a very sad fact. The orphans have no parents, they live with relatives or in an orphanage. I think they are not very happy, and you can say that they are poor because they do not have family love and support. So they must be helped.

All of them are just people like us and if we were poor, we would like somebody to help us.

I always try to help the poor people, because I want this world to be better. Maybe they have no house, no school, no money and no family, but what is important is to make them feel that they are not alone, that we are trying to help them and make them happy.
