-Hey, my name is Lina and I am a student at the Baccalaureate School for Global Education. My friends and I are planning to create this website informing you about a huge problem in our society, poverty. Our website’s name is POP, People over Poverty. We hope to pop away the problems of poverty with POP. As a resident in New York City, I feel like I need to give back to my community. http://furmancenter.org/thestoop/entry/focus-on-poverty New York City’s poverty rate has generally hovered between 19-21%, and remains higher than the national rate—especially for children and seniors. Clearly in one of the most popular cities in the world, we have a very serious problem. Through this blog and other sources of internet activism, my friends and I hope to raise money and directly help this cause(while passing our tech class 🙂 ) –
