Getting to Know Your International Contacts-Part 1
In the Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre the poverty in the country in Mexico had a lot
of issues. The three insights I gained from this website is how poverty effects low income families when the woman are pregnant, food,and the climate change of the weather. If the women do not get the medical attention that is needed they have a high risk of still-births. In the country of Mexico with the poverty issues they have a lot of still-births when women become pregnant because they can not get the help they need and they do not have the resources like we do. The climate change of a temperature and the rainfalls have a lot to do with the crops growing for them to sell to make the money and it can affect people that have jobs and not able to work due to work.A household in Mexico is considered to be capacity poor if its members cannot afford to cover their basic expenses on food, health and education, according to an officially defined basket. Finally, a household is considered to be in asset poverty if its members cannot cover their expenses of food, health, education, dressing, home and public transportation. This is the insights I gained from the poverty issues.

It is sad that women carry their children for nine months and then have the possibility of loosing them due to lack of healthcare. I wanted to go to Canada when I was younger because they offered good healthcare to everyone.
