Hunger Is A Worldwide Problem

Did you know that over one billion people suffer hunger in the world each day? That is about one-sixth of the population of the planet. The World Food Programme, part of the United Nations, helps feed people around the world and has created online resources to help kids learn about hunger and ways to help. The WFP blog for students and teachers called, Teaching Hunger, is a great way to learn more about how hunger affects people around the world. Another WFP blog, On the Road, features videos highlighting hunger issues. Check out the links below to visit the World Food Programme blogs on their website.

Yes, we Americans are very blessed when it comes to food. Though there are even some American families that are in poverty, unfortunately. We need to continue doing everything we can in order to help others that need it whether it is food, shelter, or etc. Prayer is also very powerful.

Even if you do not participate in the Operation Christmas Child Program, please pray for its success! Every prayer is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Yeah, sure. I'll donate, but may only pray a few times.

Thanks Tigerflame! And thanks to anybody who also decides to participate. God will use your gifts to bless many children.....
