I think Mother Teresa's message is about how the rich people are greedy and the poor people are not and if we don't share more people may go into poverty. I would give the poor money, food, and water so they can get better and feel better as well.

I think what she said is true and it is exactly what is happening. The extra money you spend on sweets and games could be used to donate to charities who help poverty. I also saw somewhere that it costs over 42 million US dollars to organize the oscars. Have a good weekend!

I think the message is sooooooooo true, and I already heard that words before. Also, we could donate to the poor people of people who are in poverty. Or give some foods to the people on the lying on the ground.

I think that people think that the worse problems in the world are created by God, but what Mother Theresa said is true. We are the ones responsible for all the world's problems. And we are the ones that are responsible in fixing these problems. I think the best way to start making a difference with helping to end poverty is by donating money to a charity that will help people in poverty. Have a great weekend everyone. Bye!

I think that Mother Teresa is talking about how how people always blames God for the worlds problems, but it's us that make the world a worse place. I think that we can help people who live in poverty by trying to to give them shelter like a sleeping bag or if you have an old tent that you can give away, or give them extra water, or food so that that you don't waste any; you can also donate money to charity. This is somewhat of topic but if you have long enough hair you can donate it to hair 'banks', same goes with blood but I think you have you be a specific age to do so. Bye, have a good weekend!

I think her message is very important and she is saying that all of us can afford our basic needs and more, but we are not sharing what we have to the people who are less fourtante. If I could go up to someone living in poverty I would give them a pack of water bottles do drink and stay hydrated, I would give them lots of food that doesn't go bad very often, I would offer them clothes and blankets and hats and gloves and shoes. I would also maybe give them supplies to add or to start their shelter.

I think the message is very true and very important to understand because all of these people that live in poverty don't want to live in poverty but it would be different if every body shared.

i think the message above is very inspiring. You can help by donating money for food shelter and other things like that. We just have to share what we have for everyone to be happy.

I think waht she did was great because there are a lot of people in poverty and she is helping them and I don't think many people would do that, but she did do that and that is awese of her to do. I think I might donate to food banks and I have a job and I split the money I earn in half. Half for savings and half for spending I think I might donate the savings part to an organization that helps deal with poverty.

I think her message is very true because we have lots of money and if we shared it with poor people they might be able to afford a home and the basic needs. I would donate food to the food bank to help them.

I think the message is very important and she said that it is our fault not God's. We have to help by giving important stuff like water, food, clothes, shelter, etc.

I think she is saying that we start poverty by not sharing money or food or clothes. We can help people in poverty by giving people a bit of money if we see them.

To me, it looks like Mother Teresa's message means that it is we who causes poverty, and we cause it by not sharing. It is our responsibility as humans to make sure that everyone has what they need. Every little thing we waste, maybe a tomato slice or a half glass of orange juice- if we could give that slice or sip to the poor, it would make one less person hungry, and it would quench the thirst of one more person. If it could be that easy, how come it's never done? That makes me think, if we are the ones who cause poverty- then it is also we who can stop it, right? We can help. We might not be able to send all of our food and water to people around the world, but we can do great things by not wasting what we have. We can conserve our resources, so that even if we're not giving them away, we're not wasting them. And, like many of the people have said above, we could donate to charities. Every nickel, every dime, every quarter, every dollar can make a difference.

I think Mother Teresa did an amazing thing. Some times rich people can be greedy and the poor people barely can have enough money for food. I think what Mother Teresa is saying is that we start poverty by being greedy and not sharing our goods when we have plenty. Poor people barely have enough money for food and we're standing here thinking we can have money for the things we don't need. We never think to ourselves that we don't have food is because that's not the reality for us, We have so much food more than all the poor people can imagine. Don't you think that sad we're out there buying snack foods that give us no nutrition when the poor don't even have that. I think we can make a difference even the tiniest thing like going on the street and giving some homeless people sandwiches yes sandwiches the simplest thing you could ever think for food of but yet they don't have that. Children are age are starting on the streets or don't have health care or anything and they're getting sick. What would you feel like if you had to sit there on the cold? even sleeping in ditches! I think we can all make a difference but doesn't just happen like that.

I think Mother Teresa's message is really nice and is true. If someone in poverty found food or clean water I think they would keep it to themselves. To help them I would donate money.

I think the message is that everyone thinks that the problem is made by god but really we are all the ones responsible for what happens. You can help by donating money for food banks in the community.
