We can contribute time, food products and money to help end hunger. I do this through my church, and by other means. I cook food for soup lines and help pass food. Faith-based organizations are good outlets to participate with. One person can make a difference.
We were the richest country of the world for many years, or close to it. Statistics have proven us to be the most giving nation.
If we haven't fixed the world's poverty problems by now then there's literally nothing we can do since it's not yet been done.
Poverty is a state of mind and condistion of the spirit for many humans.
We're now a bankrupt nation with a currency that's like playing musical chairs. It is not a question of IF the dollar dies, but when.....when the music stops. We can't fix the issue of others starving.
As a nation, we have tried, and failed.
the notion that america is the most giving nation when it comes to overseas aid is hugely inflated , besides , i dont see aid as a comprehensive solution , its a nasty trick which presents the west as noble and charitible and africa as needy and pathetic , create a level playing pitch regarding trade and goverment aid will not be nesscesery
Speaking of not taxing your mind. And who's fault are the situations you describe? They can only be permitted by corrupt governments!
ask yourself this , i presume you are familiar with the CAP ( common agricultural policy ) , which of the following countries do you think had the least influence when the CAP was being hammered out
usa
france
zambia
the land in zambia is every bit as fertile as in the american mid west
"The developed countries of the world hold 25% of the world's population, but consume 75% of all energy, 85% of all wood products, and 72% of all steel produced."
If we don't live & LEARN, history will repeat itself.
I agree. That's why I never contribute to band-aid charities who do not address the base issues. Sending tons of wheat to Somalia over and over again makes no sense and just prolongs the problems.

Zambia shouldn't have a voice in Euro agricultural subsidies.
one meaning is that we in the west are takers rather than givers
