World Hunger Crisis- A Tragic Fact
In just 3 years , prices for the very basic staples of life ( wheat, rice ,corn) has risen by an unbelievable, 83%
For people living in developing countries, being able to afford enough food to feed their families is a daily struggle.
A very sad and deplorable fact was reported by the N.Y.Times, stating that people living in Haiti,are eating cakes of mud, mixed with a little sugar and oil, just to attempt to rid themselves of hunger pangs.
If immediate action isn't taken,to stop this upward spiral of food prices, 100 million people around the world,already living in poverty, will find themselves more impoverished than they already are.Not to mention the hundreds of thousands who will be forced to confront, famine and starvation .
The One org has more than 100,000 petition signers, who have urged President Bush to solve this hunger crisis
by making it a top priority on his agenda at a summit meeting in Japan, this July.
All of us can take part in helping One reach their new goal of 200,000 petition signers,urging the
President to rally and take emergency action against hunger.
Won't you please take the time to sign this petition and help fight this world hunger
crisis? One.org
