There are different kinds of poverty and, in some cases, assistance in the form of dole-outs become even more unproductive. Great post, Allison. :)

People dont really think about poverty or examine it closely. Firstly, the way poverty manifests itself is very diverse. Urban poverty is different from rural poverty, for example. And secondly, we "have" because others are "have-nots." We need to think about how we are all responsible to on-going poverty instead making it an issue that affects "them."

On the Dorchester Forum, I have read posts by Bonnie Vanak about the desperately poor, Colleen Thompson on Boxing The Octopus has blogged about starving artists, Deborah Macgillivray has given us an insight into the plight of the ill and impoverished members of American society whom the system has failed, Leanna Hieber from the UK has blogged about historical poverty in Victorian London... I have interviewed a Capuchin brother about what can be --and is being done-- about the desperate poverty in Detroit, through teaching men and women, one at a time, to grow organic vegetables and to bake breads, and in teaching distressed children to paint. There are dozens of worthwhile, useful, thought-provoking posts all over the internet. Maybe for one day, it is good to know the little things that are working, and how even a thoughtful use of the leaves we rake up in this Fall can help someone else... Connie,
