Global poverty is both a blight on humanity and a very real threat to peace and stability for all of us. There are no easy solutions, but there is much that can be done, and we all need to be involved, says Peter Bell, a Gloucester native and a global humanitarian.
Mr. Bell is the executive director of CARE, the lead agency in the postwar relief effort in Iraq. He has traveled extensively in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Sudan and other third-world trouble spots to assess human needs and advocate effective public and private initiatives to end poverty and injustice.
