40 Hour Famine

World hunger is a very serious issue in today’s world, that is very stunning in a world full of resources and food to feed the hungry. World hunger affects millions around the world. There are 795 million malnutritioned people around the world today. The good news is that hunger is a problem that can be solved. There is enough food in the world to feed everyone. Today’s knowledge, and willing people can just be enough to solve the main issue of world hunger.

In the year of 1947. The American missionary Dr Robert Pierce, the founder of World Vision, travelled to many countries including China and Korea and encountered many people who regularly have to go without food, clothing, shelter and very little money meaning that these people can barely afford anything. During the horrible Korean War in early 1950’s, he helped set up many orphanages to care for heaps of children who had been abandoned or orphaned.

everyday, you are probably wondering why nationwide hunger is an issue. Families that are subject to poverty generally have little money, goods, and don’t often have much support. Economic income does determine if a child is more likely to go hungry or not. Right here in the Central Valley and Imperial County have the highest percentage of child hunger. Due to high unemployment rates, people are having harder times to feed their families. Because of this Feeding America discovered that these families are forced to make the choice between feeding their household or paying bills and rent to provide a roof and warm bed. Even with organizations such as Hungry Harvest, Feed the Children, Meals on Wheels, Feeding America and No Kid Hungry, studies continue to show that nationwide hunger is still a serious issue in the United States. In order to solve this problem more people need to be made aware of how important it is to help those that don’t have the same luxuries and to create new organizations and programs that lower income families can benefit

D) For me, high school actually began when I started to challenge myself with the juggling act between volunteering opportunities, religious youth groups, and athletics. Foremost, I racked up over 100 hours of community service in of Key Club, Leo Club, and UNICEF, student-led organizations where members serve the community through activities including food drives, collecting clothing, and cleaning up parks and beaches while raising funds and awareness toward the provision of humanitarian aid to children and mothers in developing countries. Meanwhile, I was a youth leader of the T.I.T.U.S. Youth Group at the Journey Church and helped organized their 30 Hour Famine to raise money and awareness in the fight against poverty and injustice for

Hunger in America, 2014: Executive Summary by Feeding America discusses hungry in communities and the food banks they depend on. The Executive Summary provides comprehensive demographic profiles of people seeking food assistance through the charitable sector. In addition, an in-depth analyses of the partner agencies in the Feeding America network. In Divided we Eat by Lisa Miller, she explores how to close the gap between the food passionate and the food insecure. Miller struggles to explain why people are willing to indulge themselves with the best food product while others struggle to get a balanced meal. World Hunger, Ten Myths by Frances Moore Lappe and Joseph Collins tackles the myths behind global hunger. Lappe and Collins suggest that

The reality of hunger is one that is often suppressed and denied around the world. One huge misconception is that everyone who is hungry does not have a job. People argue that hunger is the fault of the person who cannot afford food. If they were really hungry, then they would have done something about it right? Surely, they aren’t actually hungry otherwise, they would have gotten a real job. Sadly, the victims of food insecurity not only have to face the challenges of hunger but also have to listen to the biting criticism of other citizens. Just as Quindlen said, the first step to ending hunger is recognizing

This web page's goal is to introduce the visitor to the problem of world hunger and provide ways to access more information through books and other web sites. The page was created as a final project for an Environmental History class held at the University of Vermont spring semester 2000.

Today I will explain what causes world hunger, and how you can make a difference.

Hunger is a problem and crisis found worldwide. Hunger does not just affect one specific race or group of people but a variety of people throughout the world. People don’t expect to go hungry and one can never predict if this will be a problem for them. Going hungry can happen to anyone and at the time least expected. Have you ever wondered what it is like to not know when your next meal will be? What about not knowing how to provide enough food to feed your family? Not everyone thinks of these questions, as some are oblivious to these ongoing problems related to hunger.

You oversleep and have to rush out the door to work, skipping breakfast. Then things are so busy, that you cannot take the time to eat lunch. Then you get stuck in rush hour on the way home, so by the time you get home it is after 7 pm, and you are absolutely starving, and you proceed to eat everything in sight. We have all experience hunger, and it is not a good feeling, but it is temporary. Can you imagine having that type of hunger, being famished like that, day in and day out? Famine is really a global problem. We have kids that go to bed hungry every night, right here in the United States. There are kids that barely eat anything for days in Third World countries. They are so emaciated; you can see the skeletons in their

This campaign will be a non-profit organization for children and their families to be able to engage in healthy activities for their children to engage in. They will be provided with health education on healthy foods for their children to make sure they are eating properly. In order for t this campaign to be successful and a help to others we will need hands on deck. Our teachers, caregivers, and parents will all have to communicate with each other so that changes can be made for every child to succeed within this program. As the developer of this campaign, I will ensure that all education information is current, activities are tailored to the different communities across the country, and available to other countries as well.

Sixty percent of the world hunger is women. In developing countries, one out of six infants are born with a low birth weight. sixty-six million primary school aged children go to school hungry, most of which are in Africa with an insane twenty- three million children. World hunger is a continuing problem and to put it in perspective, count to ten and a child dies across the world because of

In an attempt to end the fight against hunger one must experience it in some way, shape or form. Whether that be through personal experience, the stories of others, volunteering, research, etc. you have to have some understanding as to how individuals are effected. This important in finding the right course of action or the right solution. These past few weeks have opened my eyes to many different experiences and I am inspired to be more active in the fight against hunger, locally, domestically and worldwide.

Today all over the world,there are people who haven’t eaten in days,weeks,and maybe even months.Many food organizations are working to fix it,but the countless number of Africans who live homeless.”In 2012, 501 million people, or 47% of the population of sub-Saharan Africa, lived on $1.90 a day or less, a principal factor in causing widespread hunger.” World hunger has been a problem for a long time now. I feel it can be stopped by donations farming and many more food related things.

In 2014, a foundation called Feeding America did a survey on the people they serve and found that in order to stretch their food budgets 79% of them purchase inexpensive and unhealthy food in order to stay fed. This can seriously impact their health, because no matter the age, healthy bodies and minds require nutritious meals. In some cases, food insecurity can even lead to Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity. These are just a few examples of why food insecurity is so harmful. Fortunately, there are many organizations, clubs, and foundations that are committed to ending hunger in America, and eventually the world. The first step to solving this problem is spreading information, and realizing just how dangerous food insecurity is, and who it affects. After learning these things, you may want to help and there are many ways to do that. I’m sure in the past, you've donated food to the annual canned food drive our school puts on, and that’s just one way you can contribute to solving this problem. There are many organizations that ask for donations and will put your money to great use, for example every dollar you donate to Feeding America will provide 11 meals for a child in need.If you don’t have food or money to donate, you can donate
