 Hi everyone! Welcome to this new blog. Today we are talking about a sad but very important situation that many people in the world are experiencing in nowdays. This situation is known as: Poverty.

Because although we can't make any actions to prevent poverty, we want to help others by communicating important information about the topic. And our team is formed by: Jesus Andres Gomez, Andres Gil Lamadrid and Luis Ramon Valenzuela.
