Hey everyone,
This branch works in South America, specifically in Peru and Columbia. They are working to improve the problems that come with poverty. There are three main efforts: economic development, health, and education. The economic development includes supporting organic farms, providing housing for displaced persons, and helping the poor in general to climb above the poverty line. The education program provides schooling for displaced children which includes nutritional classes, counseling programs, self-esteem building and others. The final approach is health based, and it focuses on cataracts which is a serious problem due to unsafe drinking water, and a lack of Vitamins A, C, and E. In the United States, I think that we tend to take these privileges for granted (health, education, and poverty). Imagine where you'd be without these privileges, the time for action is now.
