Stop Hunger Now

Because once upon a time, my siblings and I had nothing to eat except porridge for days.


Because once upon a time, my mother had to sell the guavas and’ balimbings’ from our backyard so that she can buy decent food for us.


Because once upon a time, I was a pretty little gurl who goes to school with an empty stomach.


Because once upon a time, in school I only had water to fill my empty stomach with and had to stay at the library to read books so that I may forget the feeling of hunger.



How lucky am I to survive those times.



Those were a thing of my past but hunger is still an issue up to now.


There are still children from all over the world who have no access to healthy food to eat and potable water to drink.




The World Food Programme by the United Nations is one of the many organisations created to help feed the world and someday eradicate the problem of hunger on the face of the planet.



Let us help the World Food Programme.

i can still remember my classmates being brought food by their yayas and i was on the corner enjoying my tiny weeny hotdog with like loads of rice.
