47% of young children in India are malnourished, and up to a third of the world's undernourished children are Indian. ore than 1.4 billion people live at poverty line or below. According to a the World Bank report, there are over 1,345 million poor people in developing countries who live on $1.25 (about Rps 57) a day or less. The social action I intend and have decided to take will be for a fit and useful purpose. I think my role and responsibility is not to raise money for child poverty in India, but to raise awareness of this human rights issue. I am fully aware of the high rate of poverty in India, and im not so sure that others are aware of such a social justice issue. I intend to make my family, and the community around me aware of the situation India is in right now. Together, with your help, we can make this known and the more people that know what situation india is in, the more help india will get in supporting their children.

EVERYONE needs to hear about this. so many people have no idea how bad things actually are over there. good work getting the word out.
