Hungry People

Food has become a newsworthy topic of late. Although we can grow enough food to feed everybody on the planet, there is a distribution problem and frankly, some of us waste a lot of it. The bitterly ironic thing about food is that while some people are dying for lack of it, here in North America some people are dying from too much of it.

CBC Television featured a story last night about a Canadian family attempting to live for 3 days on rations the UN distributes to hungry people. It is interesting, to say the least. You can watch it here.

As it happens, April and May are the months of MPI's food campaign. We support several ministries that have at least some component of feeding people and that is what we are raising funds for. For example, MPI is committed to $6000 per year towards the food budget at Children's Hope Orphanage in Kiev. Check our recent newsletter for some insightful information about what people live on in Ukraine.
