I think that conferences are open to new forms of poverty as long as the resources are available to deal with them.

I think the conferences should be opened to new forms of poverty but there are always problems of lack of manpower and funding.

Most of the conferences in Sri Lanka are not really open to the new forms of poverty. This is mainly because they still struggle to overcome the traditional forms of poverty. Even if the conferences see the need to tackle the new forms of poverty they have little chance in fighting with them as Neil and Gareth had rightly said Sri Lanka too have problems with lack of man power and funding.

New forms of poverty need more efforts, and more ressources. So, conferences are sometimes open to them, but just don't know how to deal with them.

Some conferences care only about the basic poverty. They don't really know about the new forms, and don't really care. They continu their good work and do what they can to help people.

To give help : That's the important point. Any help can change the world. If we can help any kind of poverty, that's awesome!

In Korea, I think we are open to new forms of poverty. Whenever we visit the people in need, we always trying to get all information about their family, home and so on. and in case there are problems. we keep seeing to understand what the problem is.

I think we can find the way only when we try to find that in prayer with God. and then we have to believe other resources we need will be appeared.

C (BAZIL)Some conferences are opened to new forms of poverty due to their degree of hard work i.e spiritually,financially and physically.

Similarly in New Zealand we find that it depends on the conference. They are usually open to new forms of poverty if they have a good understanding of the problem and also enough resources to allocate to this new form of poverty.

Yes. Youth members are sensitive to the various kinds of poverty, like Spiritual poverty,loneliness, rejection and also not only physical forms but also socioeconomical forms of poverty.

Conferences are generally opened to the new forms of poverty, namely spritual poverty as well as poverty cause due to a lack of education. The challenge is dedicating the time treasures and talent to these new needs as well as sometimes getting the support from the seniors. Young people are willing and opened to new challenges
