Thought for the Week
Monday 15th October 2012
This week we are thinking about World Food Day
and all the people in our world who go hungry every
day.
Note to home!
A good topic for discussion around the dinner table this
week! How much food do you waste and could you prevent
this in future?
World Food Day
16th October
If the world was a village of 100 people:
24 have no electricity.
25 have no source of safe water in their
homes or within a short walking distance.
32 do not breathe clean air.
40 have no access to sanitary facilities.
50 do not have a reliable source of food
and are hungry some or all of the time, and
20 more are severely malnourished at all
times.
Only 30 always have enough to eat.
If all the money in the village were divided
equally, each person would have $6,200 a year.
But in the global village, money is not divided
equally. At one end, 20 people out of 100 would
have more than $9,000 a year. At the other, 20
would have less than a dollar a day.
