Unless we choose to try,we are certain to fail

My greatest lesson at the platform  has been on the promise of change, the power of dreams and optimism. We didn't always agree on things and on how to go about doing things but some how,some how we managed to remain true to our vision, punching hunger and freeing the hungry Billion.

We have been here for three months and this week we have our mega event, which will be a Press Release titled: Ensure food Security: Stop Bio-fuel Investment without a policy, which you are all invited, will try see how we can have it online to involve those who have been following us from without Tanzania.

So did we achieve anything? I think we did...we earnestly believed we could do something about hunger and we went out to do something about it, might have been too little to create change but it is enough that we tried.

Hunger is a global problem though causes are myriad, one thing comes out clearly we have a faulty food system. Food is an essential commodity which the Agri Business world has chosen to commercialize and treat as a luxurious commodity which only a few can afford, for petes sake their is so much food in the world and its mind boggling to imagine human beings die of hunger when they live amongst fellow human beings, and at a time when the world can produce more than it can consume.

In his book," The grapes of Wrath": John Steinbeck writes I don't aim to starve to death before i kill the man who is starving me to death. We are not asking you to shot the government we are asking you to join us in telling the government that we won't allow them to starve us by allowing biofuel investments without policies that ensures we and our children are food secure. unless we all try this we are certain to fail and worse starve.
