Poverty. hunger. sickness. ignorance. unemploymentthat vicious cycle of basic needs which we really do not know enough about so that the poor can afford life. We are a rich country. we do know. Five years ago there were 151.720 beauty shops. Last year. $30 billion was spent on war in Asia. Today we are very close to putting a man on the moon. Let us redirect a very small part of our wealth to the understanding of the hunger and needs of the infant. the pregnant mother. and the migrant laborer. Let us not overlook the lonely aged person or the forgotten transient. Let us consider the needs of all our citizens before hope is starved and trust famished.
