Poverty: Internet, by Lucky

http://www.poverty.com/index.html

This website is a organization that informs people the seriousness of poverty and diseases all around the world. it mainly informs people about poverty, aids, pneumonia, diarrhea, tuberculosis, mlaria and measles. For every disease and problem, there is about 3 paragraphs explaining the problem and the solution. There is also a link to solution, more information and what you can do. The organization seems to be a well organized community that shares good and reliable information.

My favorite part of the website is a world map, displaying the death of children and adults due to poverty. there is also a map for every disease and it is updated every second. the pictures and the names are only representational and does not show the names and faces of real people. The photographs are computer composites of multiple individuals. However even if it is not real it has a major impact on the audience. When i first entered the website and saw increasing numbers of death due to poverty every second, i was shocked and came to realize the reality of poverty. Many people just think of poverty as not being able to eat much or living in a small home. But this website breaks that assumption and shows that people are dying every second due to poverty and that we should do something about it. In overall, the site seems really valuable and effective in introducing poverty.
