Despite money woes, report urges U.S. to boost world antipoverty efforts: Need especially urgent now

The 2009 edition of the Christian antipoverty group Bread for the World’s annual hunger report was released at a November 24 news conference in Washington. It calls for the government to streamline international development efforts through renewed focus and reforms—despite, and because of, the international economic downturn.
