Hunger.

I came across @stooffi's post on her blog on this many days ago, and I want to blog about this too.

Have you ever thought about hunger and poverty?

Every 3.6 seconds, a person dies of hunger. 75% of them are children. Every 5 seconds, a mother loses a child. Everyday, hundreds die while we live our lives ignorantly.

We choose not to change this, or claim we don't know how we can help.

In Singapore, most of us fall short of nothing. We have homes, we have beds, a cover on our bodies, and most of all, excessive food.  We are the affluent societies who have these unbelievable excess of basics. But yet we are not really doing much to transfer our blessings to these people who are less than blessed.

Here, join me as we put in a little bit of effort. At The Hunger Site, sponsors will deliver cups of rice that correspond the number of clicks the site gets each day. 100% of the proceeds will go to charity, and you can choose to donate to other causes as well. This won't cause you anything, just a few seconds of your time.

Bookmark this site, and click on the button everyday. It's really this easy to give.
