As reported on the World Food Day website, Poverty forces people to make choices in countries where the annual income per person is $100 or less.
How would your family live on $100/year per person. What would you do without? Why? What would you eat?

ReplyDeleteOkay students, the Spring Break has begun, now let's see what is on your minds regarding Empty Bowls. I look forward to seeing your comments and keep your eyes out for the creator of the Empty Bowl movement, John hartom, as he should be chiming in sometime in the next week. Let's talk, let's discuss, let's get the ideas flowing.
ReplyDeleteRemember to express yourselve openly, honestly and with some deep thought. Who is going to be the beginning . . .
Welcome to Empty Bowls. You are joining people in at least a dozen countries using this project to help feed people in need. As you have or will learn, hunger is often thought of and referred to as an emergency situation. In most cases, it is chronic. Look at the USDA website and see the statistics. I encourage you to do a lot of research on the web. You will be amazed at the scope of the problem and more amazed at the remarkable work being done by students around the world. Look at the sites for Kids Can Make a Difference, The U.S. Committee on The World Food Day, The Heifer Project and Feeding America. And know that while hunger is a huge issue, your efforts make a very real difference. Providing even one meal for one person is very important. I look forward to hearing from you about your efforts. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI understand that 100 dollars is a lot to some people somewhere but I wouldnt survive on 100 a year thats like asking me if i could survive on a candy bar a month. Even though money isnt everything it is a necesity in the world today.
ReplyDeleteI would do with out alot. All the money would go with stuff that i need like food, shelter, and clothes and thats about it.
