Dear Katharine: It's been too long since our last meeting, though it was good to see you then and how quickly the afternoon passed. You were indeed a generous host; the ginger tea cakes you made were divine and the orange pekoe tea was a delightful treat. However, I as we were dining and coming up to speed with the current events in each other's lives, I could not shake the feeling that you were haunted by an unshakeable sadness.

Friends have told me that you've been plagued by nightmares where you envision relatives and dear contacts being consumed by raging fires or in floods. Your parents

It is unfortunate to state that sociological ills have preserved their place in almost every society, civilization and empire. Be it slavery, illiteracy, disease or poverty; one vice or the other has invaded communities throughout history and wreaked destruction upon the inhabitants. Despite the revolutions in the information technology and communication sector, countries are still experiencing a strong dearth of resources. Regardless of the progress within the global corporate realm, there is a widening gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots". Poverty is a harsh and tangible part of our world reality. What is poverty? A simple and straightforward explanation is to be without basic, essential items such as food, water, and shelter. The Copenhagen Declaration paints it as "a condition characterized by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food, safe drinking water, sanitation, facilities, health, education and information".
