The Beggar's Hand: The Plight of Poverty

1999
"The Beggars Hand" focuses on poverty in the Philippines. Touching on issues such as the causes, results, problems, and effects of poverty, the web site aims to open the eyes of students and visitors to what is real in the country. It aims to make them experience what it is like to walk among the fields of the poor, to talk with them, to work with them, to play with them, and to live with them. Although the website is centered primarily on poverty within the Philippine Islands, the site has information on poverty in Europe, America, and other areas of the world.
