Sunday Reflection: The Hunger Site - feed the hungry with just a click of the mouse

Have you ever felt that painful stab in your gut when you have worked yourself silly and missed out on a meal. That feeling we all have come to know as hunger. The privilege to eat when we want to eat and to drink when we want to drink is something we have over looked and disregarded. In a starving child's eyes somewhere in the dirt streets of Africa and Asia, maybe even in your own backyard that is a luxury they are can never afford.

Millions of people suffer in poverty and hunger, and millions of them are in the brink of death due to starvation and lack of things that we tend to ignore cause we have it so abundantly. We constantly surf the net and click on things that would make us happy and fulfilled and probably something to show off to our family and friends while many wallow in the mud and trash in search of food and a place they can rest their weary heads even for just awhile.

We scour the net in search of financial gain because we believe we can never have enough cause nothing is ever enough for those that have a lot, However in the dark alleys that we all avoid these people suffer in silence.

The question now is are we brave enough, strong enough, and adamant enough to face the fact that this is something we all have to deal with? Cause it wont be long before the needs of the poor will eventually become yours for in the end we are all connected. All that we choose to ignore won't be hidden anymore, it wont be long before it hits our country, our people and our lives. It could already be there. It could be a friend and even your own family. Would you be willing to wait or will you take action now before it's too late?

It really doesn't take much surprisingly... All it takes is a simple visit and a click. If everyone in the entire world who could afford to give just a moment of their time, a minute to be exact, a dollar maybe even a dime, billions of people will be saved from hunger, poverty and death. If that isn't enough feel the feeling of being a HERO in their lives as you save them from all these. All it takes is just one simple visit to The Hunger Site and click to give free food. Doesn't that make you feel good about yourself? It definitely does for people that haven't eaten for a week, maybe even a month. Think about it.
