Kids with distended bellies did not suffer the misfortune of being born poor. No matter what charitable organizations on TV tell you. Poverty has nothing to do with misfortune and everything to do with an uneducated population which corrupts, objectifies and abuses.
Before you write that cheque consider that there is a line of adults working at these charitable organizations nowhere near where these children live. They justify their existence with their hands outstretched taking their share. Then there's another line of adults in these villages 'representing' these children with their hand out. All adult objectives are met before a penny (in the form of scant food or shelter) ever reaches a child.
Poverty is a complex issue and completely devoid of bad luck. Poverty is a question of empowerment. An uneducated and ignorant population is a disempowered one. Educate a population, especially a woman, and there will be no poverty, there will be no more children with distended bellies and no more tolerance for these self-serving, wholly disingenuous charitable organizations.
