The gap between the poor and the rich children around the world.

The poverty as well as the rate of the forgotten children are growing worldwide.

Not only the poor children, but also the children from rich families are struggling with problems
altough from the ultimate ends.

We have noticed that there are problems caused by both poverty and wealth
to the children and thought that it would be good if we could come up with solutions
to make better for these two idolized groups of children.
We thought we should educate the children from rich families to appreciate their surroundings
and have a more opened mind towards the children in poor families to approach them in the future.
It is easier and more logical that the children from wealthy families approach the poor
since they have more opportunities to help them. However, we thought that poor children
could also help the children in wealthy families in mental ways.

Children in wealthy or poor families have similar ways of thinking when they are really young, however,
as they grow up, they tend to get influenced by their family background, beliefs and their way of living.
Thus, children in rich family tend to have their own community and they have less chance
to see the children in totally different world, which is a world struck with
poverty depending on2 dollars per month.

We thought it would be wise to increase the awareness of the children in rich families
of the children in poor families and countries so that they would have better
understanding of the poverty. It might not be their problems, but in this globalized world
( it will get more globalized in the future),
we thought everyone has responsibility to make the better of the poor people."}}
