Number of hungry people in the world
It is said that poverty is the principal cause of hunger. There are so many children right around us that are facing some form of hunger or poverty issues. I have observed children with in my community that lack the proper nourishment and basic needs. Some even within my class act as if they are not eating enough. I have seen children with poor hygiene issues. It is really sadden because some of the parents just don't care or put forth effort to ensure that their children needs are met. On the other hand, there are families that lack the resources to take care of their families. The children that suffers from hunger tend to have health issues and are very underweight. I have notice that the most food some of the children receive is at school, and then they try to eat enough to cover them until they return. That is really heart breaking, to know that some parents have the access to the various government funds as food stamps, TANF, welfare and others but still lack to provide the children with the proper needs.
I chose to research poverty and hunger in India. India appears to be one of the world devasted nation when it comes to poverty and hunger. Many children are so malnutrition that at the age of 5 years old they appear to be only one or two because of the lack of nourishment. Comparing our state to others we are blessed to have the opportunity to be able to have access to the many choices of food.

Hi Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteGreat information! I always worry about the meals kids get at school being the only ones they get. I've seen teachers rush children through mealtime and throw away food just to get to nap time. I always try to make sure everyone gets enough and even seconds it they want it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your post that was good information. I hate to hear that many children are stilling going through this. Today I see alot of people wasting alot of food.
