Students from the Sociology Club at IUP dressed in ragged clothes and handed out informational flyers about poverty. The flyers included statistics from UNICEF research, such as the fact that 30,000 children die every day from hunger (more than the UN’s 18,000 estimate) and that half the world lives on less than $2 a day.
I like to see this. Universities are great places to raise awareness about poverty and organize anti-poverty efforts. Hopefully, even more students follow suit.
Even when not at a college, any one person or small group can look up some facts, print out some flyers, and hand them out.
