Poverty continues to be prevalent problem in many parts of the world. Millions of people live without basic necessities including clean water and electricity.
Many of us take our lives for granted especially those living in the U.S. We have cell phones, i-pods and hi-def television. But for others around the world, they are lucky to have food to eat that day.
