desafortunadamente a los pobres no se les puede ayudar asi les gusta vivir pero al menos se podria abrir centros donde se les pueda dar capasitacion gratis desde como ser padres hasta algunas carreras tecnicas que les ayude a dejar de ser pobres desafortunadamente dar dinero no ayuda en nada pero dar conosimimento y medicinas que no puedan costear serian mas utiles . Uno pienza que los pobres sufren por que uno no ha sido pobre pero la verdad es que ellos estan acostumbrados a ser asi solo hay que ayudarles a tener conosimiento para que no abusen de ellos el dinero se esfuma
