Raising Money for Food in 3rd World Countries

Did you know that 925 __million__ people do not have enough food to eat around the world? Did you also know that 10.9 __million__ children under the age of 5 die of hunger in 3rd world countries ("World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide.”)? Lack of food is a huge problem in Africa. Most of the third world countries are located in Africa. The most needed countries are Sudan, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Chad, Somaliaand Malawi("Global Politician - The Problems and Prospects in Africa."). Starvation threatens millions of people but certain people among the population like children, the elderly, and pregnant woman ("Food Shortage in Southern Africa.”//CARE.)// A solution for supporting the most needed population in Africa; we could __start__ an organization called “Funds for Foods”. We could also post signs around the state spreading the message. We can make an event on Face book so that the people around the world can receive our message and be informed about what we are supporting and doing to solve this problem. Another solution would start a telethon and use the money gathered to provide food supplies for Africa’s most needed countries. We need to stop thinking of ourselves and stop complaining about our way of life, and start thinking about others and observe how others are living in different parts of the world not just in America, and __take action__ in supporting these 3rd world countries to have better food supplies. Together we can make a huge difference for Africa’s children. Lets Support Africa’s Children!
