Fighting against hunger around the World

                    When we look around the world, there are first world countries that are doing well and not have hunger as a problem.  At another glance around the world, you see many third world countries that are struggling every single day with hunger.  Whether it's political, economic or natural disasters none of them deserve to go hungry every day.  Food is a necessity that everyone needs, to stay alive and not be malnourished.  There are many things that we could do to fight against world hunger and prevent families from starving.  
          1) Get involved in hunger programs There are so many different programs that are dedicated in stopping world hunger.  Whether it's donation or packaging food or having a food drive, help out with the programs.  They always need volunteers to help with something so get involved!
          2) Learn more about all the different hunger programs  In order to know which program suites you and which one you like, research about different programs that you like to join.  What program stands out to you? Why do you like being a part of that program? What does that program do? There are tons of programs out there, find some information about them and be a part of a program that you are interested in.  By researching more information about the different programs, you could educate others and tell others about all the different hunger programs they can be a part of.
          3.) Educate others about hunger  It's not that no one wants to help out, but sometimes it's just that nobody knows about hunger and how it's a big problem around the world.  Educate people about hunger, make brochures or informational packets for people.  Talk to them about what they could do to help out and reduce hunger around the world.   
                4.) Write letters to people to help contribute donations At my school, we are writing letters to different people asking for donations that would help the One Campaign.  The project was aimed to help the Filipinos recover from the typhoon.  Tell them about what the donation would go towards and a bit more about what the program does and how it will help the hungry adults and kids around the world.  Donors like to know where their money is going to so writing letters is a great way to inform them.
