If the current system is committing genocide for money, among its management counts perfectly fits a nuclear war or the extermination of certain ethnic groups. It is exactly at this point where seven years of World Social Forums just stay relating the tragedies of the majorities, but without a concrete action plan. The civilization crisis could be the way out of the capitalist system.

DRASTIC REDUCTION OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS QUOTAS
Educational Colombian plan is a shipwrecked adrift
The reduction of money transfer from the central government to the provinces (2002-2006) made some of the territorial funding problems even worst, and affected the coverage in education in more than 800 municipalities. In 2006, from 11,925,488 children and young people between 5-17 years old that should had been matriculated in elementary and high school, 2,698,738 of them never entered into a educational institution. For 2005, it had caused a loss of coverage for 2,929,030 kids. Thus, in the same period of time, it caused the loss of 1,679,000 educational seats for poor families, and there were 44,000 fewer teachers in 2006 than in 2001.

The Crisis of Water in Central America
Central America is a very rich area of water resources, nevertheless, the abuse and contamination are leading us to the exhaustion of the water we can consume. Around the 80-90% of its population are being supplied with the underground water, because the one placed in the surface has already been used up or contaminated.

Misery equally strikes haitian inmigrants and Dominican poor class population 
Unanimously, 100% of those interviewed expressed concern, outrage and disappointment, since the Dominican government does not supply for the health, sanitary nor educational needs of Haitian immigrants, considering it minimally covers these needs for its own subjects.

Children Raising Children
Nicaragua is the country with the highest pregnancy index in teenagers and most of these young mothers come from poor or disintegrated homes.
