Imagine you live in the plains of Africa, everyday you come home to your mud hut after a long day of work and you're very tired and hungry.

    Statistics flashed across a screen, solemn music accompanied a slideshow of scenes showing desolate landscapes and impoverished communities. On screen, a mother held her starving child and a group of girls in mismatched clothes gathered water from a muddy well. We watched a presentation given to us before the service event and listened to the instructor as he described the conditions in other countries. He showed us photos of the people we would be helping during the mission, communities that were in desperate need of donations, supplies, and most importantly, food. The Lifeline food packing mission was my first service experience, which was the case for most of the students who participated, and it as also one of the first glimpses we had of just how bad the situations are in countries where starvation and malnutrition are so common.…

    In November 2017, I spent a weekend at a charity organization called Heifer Farm that works to end hunger and poverty. This experience lets people understand how fortunate industrialized nations are. Most of us do not even think twice about where we will get our food or if we have available clean water or electricity. During the trip I had to live in a section of the farm dedicated to houses that display poverty conditions based on a country; the Global Village. The houses did not have heat or electricity and later in the day it began to rain.…

    The reason the food insecurity is everyone's problem because taxpayers end up paying for health care costs that were caused from food insecurity, that everyone has a right to food and that our government needs to recognize that no one should go hungry in a wealthy nation that is always in other nations business. In addition, I believe that anyone and everyone should be able to access necessities to make their life better in the community. Lastly, I think we need to turn the policies for food insecurity and hunger into a human rights policy since no one should go hungry in a nation that is called the land of plenty. That there is enough food in the world for everyone. That food insecurity is not due to a shortage of food but the inequality…

    Every minute, a child dies from a water-related disease; combine that with adult fatalities from the same diseases, and the number skyrockets to more than 840,000 annual deaths (“Water Facts”). These individuals are only a tiny fraction of the 750 million people worldwide without access to clean drinking water, water that is often used to sustain what little agriculture they may be cultivating. This crisis closely interrelates with the worldwide hunger issue, which is so prevalent that 21,000 people die each day (one every four seconds) of hunger and hunger-related ailments (“Hunger and World Poverty”). These predicaments both cause and are caused by extreme poverty, particularly in rural areas, and are especially rampant in developing nations.…
