Poverty.....and what to do about it

    I have really been thinking about this recently, and heres the scoop. We know the G-8 summit was to help African starving people, and yet, what do we do? Don't we have more of a part than to just wear our ONE bracelets and attend a free concert? I'm as confused as anybody. When I was young and didn't eat my peas (I still don't), my mom would say, "Just think of all all the poor people who would be happy for a bite of those peas....." And my response was always the same, "They may have them!" But, I mean, thoughts and pity really don't help these poor people. Isn't there something more we can do? I don't really have answers, mostly questions.
