I recently read 58: Fast Living, How the Church Will End Extreme Poverty. For those interested in becoming part of the solution to end extreme poverty, I highly recommend this book. The book does a great job of showing how the Church, governments, and non-profit organizations can work to see an end to extreme poverty in this generation.
The book has one page that is probably the most powerful page of reading that I have read. The ironic thing is that it is a totally blank page. If you read the book you'll know what I'm talking about.
Many times we do nothing because we feel that we cannot help a large number of people on our own. Through opportunities that I've had to work with Compassion I've learned that we can each make a difference in the life of one child. By making a difference in the life of one child we will play a part in releasing that child from poverty, and this will give future generations the opportunity to live a life free from poverty.
