Take it one day at a time – work out what you want to say, then say something about it.

If you haven’t got a copy of the project handout you can get it here.

Advice for day one:

Start by choosing a country to imagine you are going to. There’s a list here.
There are some facts about poverty at FightPoverty.com and Food4Africa.com. Use these to describe some of the poverty. Imagine what it must be like to live with the disease and hunger.

Advice for day two:

Remember the posters we made last week. All the information on the causes of poverty is here.

Choose to explain at least two of:

  • Trade Restrictions
  • Interest Rates
  • Natural Disasters
  • Disease
  • Factories in LEDCs

Try to be a bit creative in how you bring them in!

Advice for day three onwards:

You can find the information on the Christian responses to poverty here. If you want to look up Bible verses go to BibleGateway.com.

Good luck!
