Poverty and access to services in the US. Is Project Connect solving the problem?

In every country in the World there are rich people and poor ones. Knowing this I expected that there were poor people in the United States. However the poverty I see here is different from the poverty I`ve seen in my country. I would qualify U.S. poverty ''clean''. I mean as I prepared for yesterday`s service learning with Project Connect I was expecting to see people in rags, badly ill people, disabled children, starving family and dirty beggars. But NO! People coming for services to Project Connect weren`t any of this.

So I`d say poverty is not that Obvious in U.S. and I think the Government has a lot to do with this. Programs like Project Connect has been doing a great job. As far as I am concerned they are helping the problem but the long-term outcome depends on the benefactors because it`s up to them to grab the opportunities of services and counselling provided to them on that day to emerge.
