To the children

To all the children who are in poverty and neglect, I know how it could be because I read the book Oliver Twist, whose protagonist is like you. He was raised by a parish as an orphan and when he asked for more food, “please sir may I have some more,” he was shouted at and inprisoned. You may be orphans, you may be homeless and going everywhere, which is awful and should never exist but unfortunately this effects 19.5% of children in developing countries in extremely poor households, a third of the people were children but half here in the extremely poor. You probably couldn’t read this because children in families with incomes below the poverty line are less likely to be read to aloud everyday than are children in families with incomes at or above poverty. Although if you can I must say that fact is awful but true.

I believe we should do something about this such as better welfare system for children, better. Anybody can see that child poverty is an issue that needs to be eased and limited to nothing as Oliver is adopted by a wealthier family at the end the same could similar things should apply to you.
