Provide Evidence!

You must provide evidence that stopping poverty
is important (to the politicians themselves).

"I want to help the poor. I feel very sad when I see them. I pray to God that they
don't stay so poor that they don't have water to drink, food to eat and a house
to live. I want to build a building which is not on pillars." Aarushi, India , 2001

Help increase public knowledge of the negative effects of poverty, of the lies and manipulations that might seem to justify leaving the situation as it is today. Ideas:

find Kidlink kids living among poor people. Listen to their personal stories. Good stories may be of interest to your collaborators in the journalists/writers community. For example, they might combine good personal stories with dry statistics of the number of kids against poverty to make a more readable text or interview or show.
monitor what your local news say about poverty. Check with alternative sources to see if the news is correct, or misleading and manipulating. Contact the news media to have mistakes corrected, or complain by sending an article to your local newspaper.
help your schoolmates get a clear idea of what is happening. Your class or school magazine/newspaper may be an effective means. Do not give up. We must fight together for a better world!
