Mummy went to Kentucky Fried Chicken today to buy lunch for the company. She saw a community project by KFC - Hunger Relief Program (running from 14 Oct - 16 Nov 2008). All funds raised will be donated by KFC to United Nations World Food Program. What we can do is to purchase a wristband at the cost of only RM2.
It is said that every 5 seconds, a child dies from hunger somewhere around the world and more than 800 million people in the world go to bed on an empty stomach, most of whom are children and women.
This is indeed very sad and shocking ... considering that we have advanced so much as mankind.
Sometimes when I read about how millions have been swindled or wasted or stashed away by the greed of man ... there can be so many ways which we can do to help the hungry.
