Hi, Could you please check the following definitions?
I'm learning vocabulary and I try to describe each new word which I learnt.

It help me remember new words.

Instead "break out" we can say "start". Have I right?

charity - A organization which helps people in need.Often,a charity collects different things and next send to others countries.

corruption - dishonest behaviours or activities ,often in government.

disability - The state of being unable to use part of body.(I hadn't no idea how discrabe "disability")

discrimination - tearting one person or group of people worse than others people.

homeless - The term used to discrabe people who have no home(people without home?)

homelessness - The term used to discrabe problems with homeless people.

orphanage - Place where homeless children or children whose parents dead live.

poverty - the state of being poor people.

religion - Belief in god or gods.

unemployment - The term used to describe problems with jobless people.

volunteer - A person who helps others people and dosen't want awards.
