Hunger Knows No Race Or Gender



It is estimated that there are currently 925 million people battling world hunger; that is 1 out of every 7 people in the world, (worldhunger.org). Truly, hunger knows no race or gender. We have iPads and the newest technology, yet every 3.6 seconds someone in this world dies from hunger. How is that so? How can this be okay in a world with so many resources and technological capabilities? Surely we can afford to feed the people of this world. Surely we can afford to go without an iPhone 5 or the newest clothing items in order to save a human life. Change starts with each and every one of us. We must make an effort to be aware and compassionate for the sake of human life.
