Introduction:
The USA is the richest nation in the world and yet 47 million people to not have food<br /> security – that includes 20% of all children in the US.<br /> <br /> Over 550,000 people are homeless, and again many of them are children.<br /> Lack of food security hits hardest among children, immigrants, veterans, disabled,<br /> older people, African-Americans, American Indians and other minority groups.<br /> <br /> In spite of national programs conducted by the USDA (United States Department of<br /> Agriculture) and a huge effort by thousands of organizations, churches and<br /> individuals, the number of people who do not know where their next meal is coming<br /> from is basically not changing.<br /> <br /> People trapped in a situation without food security are caught in the cycle of poverty<br /> with its many consequences for all aspects of life – job, life quality, health, economic<br /> issues, emotional stress…..<br /> <br /> Quote from Humana People to People’s Charter:<br /> <br /> <em>“HUMANA PEOPLE TO PEOPLE is focusing on a series of central elements for any<br /> nation in its understanding of its cultural life.<br /> When that includes<br /> Taking good care of its children and young ones<br /> Taking good care of its sick and weak ones<br /> Taking good care of its old ones<br /> Protecting all outcasts of fortune<br /> Safeguarding the right of all to practice The Solidary Humanism<br /> Defending the human rights of all its citizens<br /> Economizing well on the common wealth in a process of fair sharing we shall<br /> understand the culture of that nation as humanely founded.”</em><br /> <br /> There is still a long way for the USA to live up to this definition of a nation being<br /> humanely founded.<br /> <br /> By volunteering in a local soup kitchen for a day, you will in this task learn about<br /> some aspects of poverty in the USA.
Directive:
1. Read these two articles to get a small glimpse into poverty in the US: <ul> <li>“The Cycle of poverty is hard to break in the poorest US city”, by Pam Flesser, July 2012, www.npr.org (F1)</li> <li>“America’s Poverty Problem Hasn’t Changed”, by Gillian White, September 2015, www.theatlantic.com (F2)</li> </ul> 2. Make an appointment to volunteer for one day in a local soup kitchen. Attached<br /> is a file with a few soup kitchens in the neighborhood of the school. (F3a)<br /> <br /> 3. Write down the questions you want to find answers to by talking to the staff, the<br /> volunteers and the customers. See file with examples of questions (F3 b)<br /> <br /> 4. Get your questions qualified by the teacher.<br /> <br /> 5. Volunteer for one day in a soup kitchen and get answers to your questions.<br /> <br /> 6. Go through the answers together with 2-3 other team mates. Draw some main<br /> conclusions focused on: <ul> <li>WHY is there poverty in the US?</li> <li>Portraits of people living in poverty?</li> <li>Portrait of people dedicated to do something?</li> </ul> 7. Present your conclusions to the Common Meeting or a special debate evening<br /> on poverty in the US.<br /> <br /> 8. Write a summary and send to your teacher.
