A child dies from hunger EVERY 7 SECONDS

The spreading international food crisis kills thousands of innocent children every day.

As a result of widespread drought, skyrocketing oil prices, international economic woes and the recent Asian disasters, a worldwide food shortage has developed that is even more deadly than previously imagined. It's being called the "silent tsunami," a quiet yet severe crisis contributing to the deaths of more than an estimated 14,000 children each day. These defenseless children die slowly — and quietly — directly from starvation or indirectly from their inability to resist common diseases.


We can't allow their faint voices to go unheard. That's why I'm writing — to tell you there IS a way that, together, we can do something about this crisis right now.
