As I am clearly an nonprofessional there will be times when my writings are just a bunch of blither. There is a lot of stuff going on in the world right now, poverty is one of the main reasons for this blog, it is also a way of life for too many people. Child poverty is most prevalent in BC, Canada. We have had the dubious title of having the most "poor" children in Canada, for 6 years in a row. This is sickening and needs to change.
"The number of poor children in BC was 121,000 – more than the total populations of Campbell River, Mission, Squamish and Vernon combined." *cities in BC*....more to come later :)
