Black History Month Presentation: Martin Luther King Junior: Poverty: Part 3

Black people have federal and state law programs. According to UNICEF, around 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. Hunger, lack of sanitation and access to clean water and lack of resources for proper health care are the main reasons. Back in 2011, 165 million children were stunted due to less nutrition. 

Mostly through household surveys, they found that 44 percent of the world lived in extreme poverty. 1990: The World Bank defined extreme poverty as people living on $1 or less a day. Around 1.85 billion people, or 36 percent of the world's population, lived in extreme poverty.
To stop poverty, here are some solutions:
  1. Create jobs. ...
  2. Raise the minimum wage. ...
  3. Increase the Earned Income Tax Credit for childless workers. ...
  4. Support pay equity. ...
  5. Provide paid leave and paid sick days. ...
  6. Establish work schedules that work.
  7. Christian activists have been trying to motivate us to care.
  8. Pray for more money.

A Bible verse about poverty: 
“Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
 -Luke 12:33-34

Sacraments can have real causes and they have happened in real life like when you are a baby, you are baptized. Sacraments were involved in the 5 senses by touch, taste, see, hear, and smell. Like for example, when you receive your "First Holy Communion," it requires taste because the Priest will put Jesus in your mouth. These are the 7 sacraments.
