Food for thought

July 31, 2014 by Ashwin Leave a Comment

We take our food for granted.  I don’t remember the last time when I wasn’t sure where my next food will come from.

But I want to take you away from the ideal and near-perfect world of ours, to some shocking realities.

  • Women, men and children suffering without food and shelter in South Sudan – South Sudan: Humanitarian Aid Reaches Remote, Conflict-Torn Community
  • Malnutrition among Sierra Leone’s children is among the highest in the world – In Sierra Leone, Food From WFP Vital To Fight Against Child Malnutrition
  • More than 100,000 in Gaza without food – WFP Reaches Out To Conflict-Affected People In Gaza
  • Catastrophe in Central African Republic – C.A.R. Crisis

If you browse across UNICEF, UN and WFP blogs – you are in for more such gruesome stories.

Can you do something?

Absolutely yes.  For a start,

  1. Stop wasting food
  2. Donate (as minimum as possible)
  3. Spread the word

There are great people who are on the ground and doing a great job.  But they need supporters like us! Please act.

Thanks for reading this far.
