Hello readers! My name is Amanda and I am a college student majoring in English and Journalism. I am also a member of competitive collegiate forensics. As a junior, I have seen many performances in this activity that have personally affected me or someone I know. Each weekend I compete, I learn something new that I would love to share. Through this blog, I'll be examining and advocating for various speeches/topics that were presented during competition, that way others can learn how they too, can help make a difference. For more information about this activity, view the first blog.

World Food Programme calls for heroes to fight hunger

In June, 2009, the Food and Agricultural Organization reported that there are more than one billion people, worldwide, suffering from hunger and malnutrition.

Luckily, the World Food Programme (WFP) based out of the United Nations, is working to provide food to those suffering, with the intent of decreasing this number.

Now, the organization is searching for heroes to aid in their efforts.

Before April 20, the WFP aims to have at least 100 people that donate at least $15 to the cause.

Because the Haitian hurricane season is strengthening, and food supplies in Niger are becoming scares, the WFP needs the help of all individuals.

For just one $15 donation, three children can be feed school meals for an entire year, while a $100 contribution could provide clean drinking water for thousands of children.

Through the WFP, becoming a hero and saving a life is easy.

It just takes $15.
