I think that finding out that Finnland has one of the lowest child poverty rates was great, but at the same time I felt a little ahamed of our country for have one of the highest rate of child poverty. I know I that a lot of poverty stricken children come from single parent homes and tht the parent does not make enough money to support them. But we are one of hte wealthiest countries in the world and we should be trying to figure out what these other countries are doing right in helpiong their people and maybe we shoud try some of their ways. Because our ways are not going so good. It is very hard to find anything on Finnlands poverty and hunger rate and that is probably because it is so low. We stand out because our rates are so high. Again we really need to work together to fix what we can and that is to feed our children and try to get them out of poverty.
