The Smell of Poverty - Paperback

by Shannon Griffin (Author)

Poverty is all around us. We see poverty everyday but somehow we turn our heads away from its unpleasant sight. The homeless person on the street. The child that comes to school not looking or smelling clean and always hungry. On television, there may be programs that seek to raise funds and awareness surrounding this issue but you can easily turn the channel. Even if you turn the channel or close your eyes to poverty, poverty still has a smell. The stench of not enough is clear. The smell of the decision whether to eat or keep the lights on permeates around us. The smell of loss because the family has been evicted and only the bare minimal clothing and belongings are left. Meet 16 people in this anthology that know directly and in-directly "The Smell of Poverty." Let their stories empower, enlighten and encourage you to help rid the world of "The Smell of Poverty."
