Thoughts on Poverty in South Asia

No matter what part of the world your from poverty exists. However, it is one of the world's greatest issues. Help is appreciated, but it only helps for the time being, the challenge is how can we break the cycle of poverty.
My Focus is particularly in South East Asia. Food and medicine are sometime risky to deliver. The government however, are more cooperative then they used to be in the past.
If we find a way to educate the citizens of South Asia, then there is hope, for providing food, and all the essential needs.

There is hope, countries that have been communists for generations are now realizing that without some global communication and interaction, they will not survive as a country. They are begining to embrace the rest of the world, for instance the country Laos has been cooperating with governments to reduce drugs particualrly, their main exporter, opium. That has created a decline in economic growth, but they have adapted more positive ways to earn revenue for the country.

But it is obvious that in order to end poverty countries such as Laos need help and support from stronger countries to break the cycle of poverty.
