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!
