National Hunger Month


 the world, almost one-billion people don't have enough food to eat. Even in the United States, more than 40-million people go hungry. Despite the abundance of food in the world, hunger plagues large populations, and starvation awaits those who hunger without relief. November is a good time for some church to consider the reality of hunger in our world, and to study and pray for solutions. In many ways America is the land of plenty. But for 1 in 6 Americans hunger is a reality. Many people believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to small pockets of society, certain areas of the country, or certain neighborhoods, but the reality is much different.  Everyday people suffer from hunger having nothing to eat, people die and sometimes people starve for a whole day without eating anything.

UT AMERICA is a great nation we can stop this by if we can bring our hands together to become equal and become one ACCORD we can stop this thing that is bring disaster to human and so that we  can stop people from suffering from hunger.

His weekend, more than 8,000 students across the country will participate in world version 30 hours famine.  They will experience hunger firsthand, while raising funds to care for children who face children who face this stark reality every day. In the past half-decade, global food prices have reached historic highs. The grocery store and restaurant, when we can afford them account for greater portions of our paychecks.  Eating in or out cost more now than it did even seven years ago. But where increasing food prices merely a source of frustration for Americans, they can be devastating to people who live in poverty in other parts of the world.

N places like sub-Saharan Africa, where staple foods like grains account for nearly half of all calories consumed, rising food prices can cripple families and communities. The price of maize increased by 80 percent in just two years. In places wheat prices shot up 70 percent, while the cost of rice increased by 25 percent. Basic nutritional necessities like these have become impossibly expensive for people already captive to poverty, many of whom live on less than $2 a day. If we all help end hunger we shall be a stronger nation.
