They that die by famine die by inches.

No crueler way to die.

And less one hungry person in this world.

p.s. I tried to keep this blog separate from the others that I wrote. I'll make an exception this time. Both in the picture as well in the linkage. Please check out my current blog in "Ghost Walk". There is still an opportunity for any reader who wants to make a difference this Saturday. I'm not trying to do much except trying to feed just one.

Hunger Facts: International
I hear you... and I'd like to share with your readers some information on World Hunger. Hopefully, with some education we can make difference.
World Hunger and Poverty: How They Fit Together
* 854 million people across the world are hungry, up from 852 million a year ago.
* Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes--one child every five seconds.
* In essence, hunger is the most extreme form of poverty, where individuals or families cannot afford to meet their most basic need for food.
* Hunger manifests itself in many ways other than starvation and famine. Most poor people who battle hunger deal with chronic undernourishment and vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which result in stunted growth, weakness and heightened susceptibility to illness.
* Countries in which a large portion of the population battles hunger daily are usually poor and often lack the social safety nets we enjoy, such as soup kitchens, food stamps, and job training programs. When a family that lives in a poor country cannot grow enough food or earn enough money to buy food, there is nowhere to turn for help.
