Head, Hands, Heart, and Hope: Helping to End Global Poverty
Miller, Suzanne
Young Children, v65 n4 p64-69 Jul 2010
Five-year-old Michael lived on a small island in Micronesia. He was wonderfully creative in laying out a house on the sand with the sticks he gathered from a mangrove swamp. Akanina, a mother in the village, lost both her infant son and her own mother within a short time due to a lack of available health care and affordable medication. In Rino's third grade classroom, a blackboard and a piece of chalk were his main teaching tools. There is much that educators and children can do to support people like Michael, Akanina, and Rino. In this article, the author looks at global poverty through the lens of head, hands, heart, and hope to explore what children and adults in the United States and internationally can do to make a difference.
