Learning about poverty the hard way

Donna Beegle is a compelling speaker and has written a compelling book chock full of important insights for teachers and everyone else who might meet a person living in poverty. I guess that means all of us, but especially those of us in the "helping" professions. Beegle offers practical ways for us as individuals to help people leave poverty, not just keep struggling within it. She also suggests ways of reforming our dysfunctional "helping" bureaucracies and institutions.

open your eyes to new concepts surrounding poverty

This book is eye opening. I read this as part of my masters program in education. It challenges the way you view poverty. The author Donna Beegle has experienced generational poverty first hand. Looking at it through her perspective gives a face to a very general concept. She challenges stereotypes by giving both personal accounts and well documented statistics and facts. I challenge you to read this book.
