A little less than 3,000 people died on 9/11. The world united.  What would happen if 5 times as many people were killed by terrorists tomorrow?  The world would unite again.

That’s how many children are killed by hunger (and hunger related diseases) every day.  Every. Single. Day.  Yesterday.  Today. Tomorrow.  12,000 to 15,000 children starve to death everyday. That is the world we live in.  Yet the world doesn’t unite.  Conundrum! 

About 20 children starved to death in the time it took you to read this post.  We cannot single-headedly eliminate hunger, but every little helps. I am not going to recommend a specific charity, but there are many great ones out there.  Lets take a moment to share our good fortunes with those who are less fortunate. 

I must add, you do not have to go very far.  Each month over 700,000 Canadians receive food from a food bank, over a third of which are children. 

We really don’t need terrorists attacks to unite us.
