I've heard much of the issues of the future and current population rates, and I've also heard of several charities and nonprofits attempting to feed, clothe and educate these people so as to help them. Many of these people have no way to escape these conditions though, and so I find myself asking if we are truly helping. In the wild, overpopulation often has a way of evening itself out as resources become less readily available to all members of the species.
