Bloggers Against Hunger Campaign

Some facts from the World food program:

• Women not only cook food for their families, but also produce between 60 - 80% of food in developing nations.

• And yet, 60% of chronically hungry people are women and girls. We're asking people to send a message of solidarity at wfp.org/women

• This year, 60% of WFP beneficiaries will be women

• An extra year of education increases a girl's income by 10-20%

• Women produce 60 - 80% of food in developing nations

• When income is in the hands of the mother, the survival probability of a child increases by about 20 percent in Brazil.
  

• Experience shows that in the hands of women, food is far more likely to reach the mouths of needy children.

The lyrics of the song:

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Fight Hunger

In life we often lose perspective of our situation, we are blinded to the sad realities of our lives.
This could be unintentional, but its mostly a way the human mind works, it blocks out anything that's painful, terrible or awkward.
But every once in a while, our insight finds us, often uninvited it knocks on the doors of our conscience and elicits the very feelings and painful realities we run from.
One way this pain is elicited is through pictures.
Let me knock the doors of your conscience, permit me to elicit the feelings you like to avoid, the thoughts that you dread.
Dare to help.................
