This week, I listened to podcasts. I was also concerned about poverty in other areas. The podcasts provided me with a lot of information that I did not realized existed in other countries.
I plan to continue listening to audio from other countries. In my research of poverty sites, I learned that there was a high rate of poverty in India. Since many companies had outsourced technical jobs to India, I assumed that the country was prosperous, especially with the high number of technicians in the country. However, I learned that poverty was a serious issue.

I have also researched India on the childhood poverty organization website. I learned that:
About 62 million under the age of five are malnourished
34 percent of new-borns are significantly underweight
20% of the children are out of school
These are interesting statistics that show how poverty and hunger can affect a country.
