There are 3 issues I noticed while looking through the two websites; health, HIV/ AIDS, and hunger/homelessness. All 3 of these issues are important and something that interests me. For the health issue there are several agencies, such as A Better World, that help urban children develop healthy lifestyles and other things in order to promote better living. Apparently HIV/AIDS is a growing epidemic in the STL area, and that is a scary thought since this cannot be cured or prevented. Several agencies in the area help those who suffer from HIV/AIDS. Lastly, in STL hunger and homlessness is also a growing problem, especially with women and children. Several agencies are working with families in low income households, and helping to work towards giving them a better way of life.
