Final thoughts

You have come to the end of my blog now and I hope you have learnt some new and interesting things about child poverty in New Zealand. I know I have. It is good to see that non-government agencies are releasing reports that relect was on how to end child poverty as well as yearly update on how New Zealand is doing with child poverty. These reports keeps the government on their toes and ensure that they are doing the best for kiwi children. Also stated in the blog is how important the early years are for a childrens learning and development. This is a key message that early childhood teachers need to be aware of and early detection of child poverty can ensure the child has the best start to life.  I leave you now with a quote from Mother Teresa

“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God” (Goodreads, n.d.).
