The Race to End Hunger

Out of countless global issues, all currently taking place at the same time, bombarding our planet, hunger is one of the key issues that has started a massive chain of disaster. It is hunger that prevents people from being able to work, instead begging on the streets for just a few coins to buy themselves a piece of bread if they're lucky. It is hunger that drives children out of school and restricts their development because they don't care for education as much as they care for their lives. I have just learned that it takes less than 25 cents to feed a child. If so, then why are there so many individuals around the globe starving to death on the streets? We need to take action and help solve or at least better this global goal, to help others and become active citizens in our communities, especially in our home, the Dominican Republic where there is plenty of hunger already. By doing simple things like empowering women, since studies show that there is a direct correlation between hunger and gender inequalities, we could help achieve this goal. By supporting women and encouraging them to be leaders and role models in their homes, they will have the ability to change their financial situation and be able to afford food to sustain their families. Also, by simply donating food to the needy weekly, monthly or whenever you are able, you are saving a child from its possible death due to starvation. YOU, and only you can choose to make a difference in this world, and it is as simple as I have laid it out for you. I challenge you to do both things listed above, give it a try! Soon you will see the impact you are making on your society and later, THE WORLD.
