World Hunger Day
World Hunger Day
9 January 2011
It's an issue we have to beat
everyone deserves the right to eat!
World Hunger Day - 20,000 people die from poverty every single day - and 10% of them die from famine.
Famines are a thing of the past here in Britain but in countries like Africa global hunger is all too prominent.
That's why you are needed to help raise money for 13 countries around Africa, Latin America and South Asia.
The hunger project this year will see two events taking place in London: a briefing in the morning and a gala concert at night where singer Dione Warwick and friends will play.
London won't suit everyone so to those of you who can't make the journey make the day come to you! Create your own fundraiser: organise a running event and make your footprint count. Just remember to set up your own online sponsoring page!
If you have a talent put it to great use! For more famine facts and fundraising ideas go to the World Hunger Day website for more information.
Everyone deserves to eat - everyone should be able to live healthily and noone should have to go hungry. Help take action against hunger now!
