The Barrington End Poverty Meetup Group
|
For the first time in history, we can end poverty in 20 years time. It's possible and it's happening right now in villages in Africa to classrooms in the US. Ending poverty begins with all of us. Ensure ours is the last generation to know poverty. Recently, Jeffrey Sachs, author of The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time, spoke at the University of Chicago.
