I don't understand how children that are in the poverty commercials don't get paid for being on tv. Children that are doing general commercials get paid money and have royalties to get paid each time they are played and alot of money at that. So why don't these children that are in the poverty commercials get paid for being on tv. I really can't boggle my mind around it. Unless of course they are a non profit organization but these commercials have been out since I can remember. Probably before my time as well, so that is like 30+ years We really need to come up with a master plan however it looks like things will only get worse the way the world is going.

Why bother with the commercials? You should think about the government. They're the ones who should be responsible with the country's poverty. These children are there because they're born that way and the government should recognize that. They won't have any chance of getting a better if the government doesn't help them.

That is true I find most places like that have a rich government but don't want to help out with the parts that have alot of poverty. Its really good that we can all help but that has always boggled my mind that those kids that are in those commercials will not be paid in any form not even in food and maybe better living conditions.
