Do you know what it’s like to feel hungry? Of course you do and naturally you will head on down to the fridge in a comfy home pop it open to get a snack. That settles hungry. But what about extreme hunger? Do you know what it’s like to not eat at all for a whole day? And I’m not talking about fasting which allows you to settle your tummy either in the morning or at night. I’m talking about where you far from the grasps of food. You are not able to find any and worse still you can’t touch any.

Imagine if it wasn’t you, but it was this child in the picture..

And it is a reality….

Did you know that

“Half the world — nearly 3 billion people — live on less than two dollars a day”

Those of us like you and me, who are more fortunate can make a difference for those people who do not have enough in their pockets to feed not only themselves but their children. Thanks to my friend Joanne that World Vision is having a campaign called “Skip A Meal Today”. Join in the fight to conquer hunger. All you have to do is just skip one meal and use that money to provide a bowl of rice or noodles in front of a hungry child in Sabah or North Korea. It’s that simple! Skip breakfast : RM 10 – Will give 2 Orang Asli children three decent meals a day Skip lunch : RM 20 – Will feed 5 Orang Asli children three meals a day Skip dinner : RM50 – Will provide an entire year’s worth of lunch for a North Korean child Click here to go to the actual site of Skip a Meal Today Campaign Or go to the World Vision blog to view a video of a man who tried to starve himself to understand what it meant to be in hunger.
