  1. Hi everyone, my name is Shane.
  2. Any step and I'm a senior at Central High school in the country have chosen for
  3. my capstone project this year here at Massanutten
  4. Regional Governor School is the Dominican republic.
  5. While there are many concerns,
  6. the one I would like to focus on today is how the population is constantly growing,
  7. which leads to a global challenge that many individuals and families face,
  8. which is urbanization.
  9. And specifically I will be talking about poverty and a lack of resources.
  10. Research from the United States of America.
  11. World food problem states,
  12. poverty and inequality coupled with a lack of diverse diets in a week.
  13. Agricultural structure are the root causes
  14. of food insecurity and nutritional problems.
  15. This affects 7% of Children under five years old. In the Dominican Republic,
  16. malnutrition can lead overall health problems,
  17. dental problems and falling asleep in class because you haven't had
  18. the proper um food consumed and many other health problems.
  19. As I have had the opportunity to travel
  20. to the Dominican Republic for a missionary trip in
  21. 2019 I've seen firsthand the lack of necessary items
  22. that someone else including myself may take for granted
  23. the inadequate and poor amount of spending money that families
  24. have led to limited to no food choices for meals,
  25. less than par schooling and even worse living conditions.
  26. As you can see in some of the pictures, the mattresses sitting outside,
  27. so more than likely it can get rained on.
  28. Um you know, they share these things
  29. um in the schools, as you can see in these pictures,
  30. the painting supplies and all of their school boxes are empty.
  31. Um they don't have um very good schooling
  32. and they don't have the materials they need,
  33. like paper or pencils and things to learn.
  34. Um at the top and the bottom. You can also see pictures of the food.
  35. Um a lot of their produce,
  36. like their chicken and their fish just set out on counters and people come and buy it.
  37. So one that um is troublesome because of how
  38. clean it is and then to its not being refrigerated
  39. and then a lot of the fruit as you can see in the corner is also not clean.
  40. So here's just a few more pictures of that
  41. that you can look at.
  42. So with this,
  43. some of the solutions that I have researched
  44. and thought of would be to begin creating more
  45. nonprofits like the food for the poor one
  46. that is helping people in the Dominican republic.
  47. Their efforts provide fresh food and clean water to the
  48. Dominican republic and it teaches families how to plant,
  49. grow and harvest fruits and vegetables
  50. With this, it led to education,
  51. teaching young students more about the resources and
  52. feasible ways to grow food could help this.
  53. And lastly, religion is a huge thing in the Dominican republic.
  54. So finding alternatives that would not overstep boundaries and religious
  55. beliefs but could spread the word could also help.
  56. And lastly, here are my references
