While blog hopping, I came across an insightful and informative article on World Hunger by the talented authors of ASKCHERLOCK.COM. May has traditionally been a time to celebrate fertility and hope. Harking back to the days when people's pursuits were mainly agrarian in nature, it was a time for blessing the fields and planting the seeds that would spring up to provide a bountiful harvest at the end of the growing cycle. Unfortunately, for many millions of people in this world, there is no hope, no seeds to plant in fertile soil, and no future harvest. Those people, many of them children, suffer and die of hunger every day. The blog entry is informative, but what I appreciate most about the article is that it contains something that seldom comes along with reminders of world hunger. .. a vehicle for immediate action to alleviate some of the suffering. The blog offers a link to Kraft Food's Share a Little Comfort, which when clicked on, results in a donation of one box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese to an American food bank. It doesn't cost the clicker a cent and takes only a minute to do. I was thinking that this would be a wonderful link to share with older grandchildren. I know that the young adults that I work with daily always appreciate a way to participate in making the world a better place in which to live. Click along with your grandchild. How could one refuse? Until we, as citizens of the world, come up with real solutions to end this human suffering, it's the least we can do.
