Fighting Hunger a Collective Responsibility!

Over the years, we've been inundated with the statistics and the pictures of poverty around the world-so much so that many people in both the North and South have come to accept it as an unfortunate but unalterable state of affairs. The truth, however, is that things have changed in recent years. The world today is more prosperous than it ever has been. The technological advances we have seen in recent years have created encouraging new opportunities to improve economies and reduce hunger.
To think that 1.02billion people are hungry, when the world is more prosperous than it has ever been... has to be taken in with a pinch of salt. There is an extremely unequal income distribution in the world and within specific countries.
To be honest it’s very easy to watch and even rely on the United Nations, government, or donors to deal with the hunger issue whilst we sit fold our arms and pretend everything is okay. Fighting hunger is a collective responsibility...The little contribution that you and I could make as individuals would definitely go along way...What if we embraced the bible theory were the people that had more than enough reached out to the poor.. For instance in the first centuries of Christianity the poor were fed, clothed, and sheltered at a personal sacrifice.
Fighting hunger is a collective responsibility... if every individual who earns a little extra income more than they need, takes interest and offers to feed/ sponsor one child in school, hunger will be history, and even within the poorest of nations this is possible because it is within these same countries that the gap between the rich and poor is wide. The tendency of waiting for external help to feed our hungry within a country must come to an end... The time to take responsibility is NOW!
The global change in Tanzania is working tirelessly to hold a successful campaign that will consequently contribute to PUNCHING HUNGER out of Tanzania; we are taking a step further by not only discussing challenges but taking responsibility to act off these challenges.
