So, I have been researching a lot about poverty and hunger. There are 7 billion people in this world today but 1.4 billion of these people live below 1.25 US dollars. The is almost one quater of this world. There are 925 million people do not have enough to eat. This is more than the populations of USA, Canada and the European Union combined. Roughly 95% of these people live in the developing countries such as Mozambique, India, Bangladesh etc.

Hi, my name is Kimberley! For a school assignment we had to choose a topic we would like to research about and then create a question. After this question is made we have to answer it and present it in any form we like! So, I decided to create a blog so my message will be shared to all viewers. My question I have created is: How can I raise awareness of poverty and hunger in developing countries? I have decided to do a 24 hour challenge. I will live like a little girl suffering from poverty and hunger. I will not eat for 24 hours except a cup of rice in the middle of the day. I will sleep outside with no shelter above my head. I will live without technology and I will write on a piece of paper what every hour feels like. Us, living in a developed world in a land of luxury need to make a difference for others. Please join the journey of the 24 hour challenge with me and stand to make a difference. I would like to encourage everyone to do this as this is a rewarding opportunity that makes you realise how most of us take this life for granted whilst others may be suffering.
