       If I could go anywhere in North America to document an important social issue facing youth, I would stay here in Hamilton and help out my own comunity. A big social issue facing youth is povery. Poverty can affect anyone. In Hamilton, some children don't have enough food to survive. Families can't always afford to buy food, clothing or even shelter. Some students have to start working and get jobs at very early ages to help support their families. This can then lead to dropping out of school to work a full time job to try to earn more money. I believe that those children should not have to worry and should be able to enjoy their lives as children, an I'd would love to help them!!

       To help these children I would raise money and donate it to them, give them any necessities that they may need and provide them with food and other supplies. Also a good thing to do would be to start some sort of foundation to help them, and then in the future, be able to help others around the world, to make the world a better place!!!
