Poverty in Africa More than 800 million people fall asleep starving every day‚ and 300 million of those 800 are only children. Poverty is a global crisis‚ something that affects many in a horrible way. “Poverty is going empty‚ with no hope for the future.

Silk Road from 200 B.C.E to 1450 C.E. Time has the ability to change many things‚ but many also stay the same. This holds true for the interactions along the Silk Road from 200 B.C.E to 1450 C.E.
