Value of Hunger

Yesterday when I visited one of my cousin's orkut album I found a pultizer prize winning picture. This picture is taken in 1994 during sudan famine.In this picture a child is crawling towards United Nations camp for the food which is 1 km away.Behind her a vulture is watching for her to die so that it can feast on her. This picture is taken by kevin carter.It seems he was depressed a lot after taking this picture and he commited suicide. After seeing the picture I searched about him in the google and found that he was depressed a lot and he use to sit under a tree and cry for not helping the child.No one knows what happened to the child. Even he wrote letters in the name of god asking him to forgive. After reading about this I am shocked and it took more than an hour for me to recover.

After this I started thinking about the wastage of food. Daily we waste lots of food.We do it intentionally or unintentionally.There are thousands of innocent people dying all over the world, every day.One person die for every 4 second due to hunger and this accounts for 21600 people every day.The food that a single person wastes in two days can be used tosave a person which means one can save 15 people in a month

I know in this busy life it is hard to follow certain things.But atleast make some adjustments like decreasing the quantities we bring from the walmart,cooking less,trying recipes with left overs etc.The difference in the money we spend can be observed.This may be fruitfully used if we desire.We may not create miracles by changing the whole situation but we can contribute a little part of it.
