We
all know what it's like to be hungry sometimes when we're late for a meal. But
some kids and their families are hungry almost all the time because they don't
have enough food to eat or safe water to drink.
Hunger is a big problem around the world. Over 850 million people go hungry --
They eat less than the minimum amount of calories they need to be healthy.
Each year as many as 20 million people die from hunger and hunger-related diseases.
Many of them are kids! Even in America, 1 out of 6 kids goes hungry too often.
Hunger has always been a problem in our world. In the past, one of the reasons
was that there just wasn't enough food available for everyone to eat. But in today's
world there is plenty of food to go around, and yet people are still starving.
This just shouldn't be. The good news is that together We Can end hunger!
