We've all seen the images and heard the statistics. Hunger--indeed starvation--is something that people face all over the world. Many people in Africa and Asia are just one poor harvest away from starvation. Children in the U.S. will soon be at the end of school, and while many will rejoice, many others will lose the only healthy meals they have had for the past 9 months. Global warming, development, poor farming techniques and limited fresh water are threats to the food supply that are in our future. It is easy to be bleak about the outlook for the world food supply.
And yet there is reason for hope. People are learning sustainable farming techniques. Organizations like Heifer International give people the means to produce or purchase their own food, those getting them out of a cycle of poverty. That is why bloggers are uniting today to publicize hunger and the needs people are facing today and in the future. Please consider a donation to Heifer, your local food bank, or another hunger-related charity. Bring hope to someone who is hungry today.
