A World In Pictures

  This is a very famous picture of starving children. We don't realize how awful and widespread that hunger is in the world today. Seeing things like this makes me think about how much I take for granted. We don't even realize how much food we throw away on a daily bases. We talked about world hunger in our church service today and it kind of gave me a new perspective.

  The statistics are appalling. About 1/6 of the population are hungry and a child dies every 5 seconds. These are actual people and reading these makes me want to take action and make a change. These poor children don't have the same resources and access to food that we have and we don't take the time to sit and think about all the luxuries that each of us get. They didn't choose to live like this. What people don't realize is that there is a solution to this. People know that hunger is a thing, they just think it can be solved by itself. There is no way to stop it if people don't start coming together and doing something about it. Make it your problem because it could be you one day.

    This photo makes me want to blame other people. They don't have the ability to get the access to food and we need to help them. Anything to help these poor people will help just do something.
