Photos of Poverty - UN Day of Eradication of Poverty


Today we honor the United Nations Day of Eradication of Poverty.

If you’ve ever wondered what poverty really looks like, I’d like to share some photos from my trip to Liberia in 2009. On Friday, I wrote a post about the trip titled, “If You Go To Liberia.” I received many calls and comments about the trip, so I thought you would want to see Liberia the way I saw it, where poverty is everywhere; from City Hall to stores to homes to the schools.

Help us in supporting the United Nations Day of Eradication of Poverty.
May peace and abundance prevail on earth.
