The effects of poverty on young children (0 - 6) tend to be more profound and longer lasting than the effects upon older children and adults.

Children experience poverty and deprivation with their bodies ... their minds ... their hearts ... and their futures.

Statistics based on averages do not reveal differential effects on children and adults ... or boys and girls. The effects of poverty are more severe for girls.

WHAT CAN I DO?★ Something, anything, for any child.
★ What you are already doing ... and just a little more.
★ Inform college students and high school students....they are the next generation of child advocates.
★ Teach the children....build habits of caring, sharing, peace, and advocating for others.
