Letter of Inquiry to Poverty Program

Subject: Poverty Program

                http://www.povertyprogram.com

Date:     November 17, 2012

To whom it may concern:

My name is James Lombardo.  I am doing a project for a English class at The College of Western Idaho.  I chose to do my project poverty in Idaho.  I am writing you today to see if I may obtain some information in regards to the Poverty program.

Some information I am looking for is as follows:

·         When people donate money to your foundation, how much of the money goes to immediate care such as food and healthcare?  How much goes to programs such as education and work programs?

·         In your opinion, is money that goes to immediate care as important, less important, or as important as money for education and work programs?

·         In efforts to end poverty, is it safe to say sending money is not enough? 

·         Those in poverty have to want to help themselves in order for aid to be effective in ending poverty, Agree or disagree?

·         Is there a system for separating those who want to better themselves and those just want the aid given to them?

Thank you for your time.  If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please e-mail or call me.
