........celebrities and the American media are always asking us to support and feed children in other countries, while there are children right under our noses here in the US that are going hungry every day?
Don't get me wrong....I hate to see children in ANY country suffering...but it just seems that domestic philanthropy has never been high on our priority list.

As for me, I am in total agreement with you; and I would bet my bottom dollar that the majority of all the American citizens will agree with you too.

Families with children is the fastest growing segment of the homeless population!
Edit : The shelters are full most nights and have to turn people away, The food banks have empty shelves ! Yes I give and give a lot but I am only one person !

once upon a time in india there was no rain in a city for quite some time resultantly there was afamine there was a saint who said if every house in the city pours a glass of milk in the well in the center of the city the well will get full and this will make god happy and there will be rain.
one of the family thought that if i pour a glass of water in such abundant milk it wont make a difference.......................................
the next day the well was full of water
so .what i wanna say is dont expect others to behave or act in right manner kake the onus on yourself first set an example before them first change yourself?????????

I think because we are supposed to be the richest country and the places that they visit are so poor that they don't even have proper medicine to treat the sick or food to feed them.
Yes we have a huge problem here also but, we have shelters, food banks, free clinics, etc. Those countries don't.

The USA has really failed the USA children. My God, President Clinton spends millions in taxpayer dollors for AIDS children in China. I am obviously missing something here.

Celebrities do it as a means of advertising themselves (making them look better) Media thrives on that junk....... It's weird that people claim to love this country so much but never want to do anything to help and keep it strong.......

Its the same in Britain. Help everybody else and send troops all over when the country is literally on its knees.

They are too obssesed to save children out from USA, while inside America there are lots of children who suffer for child abuse.

I'm not sure sweetie...I guess here in America we have food banks and shelters that the hungry can go to. By the way, I love you.
