The main reasons there is such horrible Poverty

Hello,

My name is Essena, I am 12 years of age, and I go to St Andrews Anglican College (which is a beautiful school nested in the centre of Peregian Springs, Sunshine Coast, Queensland). These next couple of weeks I am studying "Poverty in Africa". I chose this topic because I thought it would be great to learn and see how lucky we all are! Though I thought it would defiantly show how much we can help. Now, I'm terribly sorry, if this message is a waste of time for you. However it would really help me, if you could answer these questions, in as much detail as possible;


1. How do you describe poverty in Africa?

4. Can you explain to me, how children in Africa are so much different to children in Australia? E.g. Water, Food, Clothing, Homes... extra

Thank you so much for your time! You have led me on the right track. Though you are probably wondering why I didn't just go onto your website and take down some notes? Well, I wanted to talk to a professional, like you.
Thank you SO SO SO much again!

Many regards,

Essena O'Neill oxoxox
