Please read this blog by Regina Hopewell. I also received a letter today from Compassion about the Global Food Crisis and how it is impacting the country of the children my family sponsors.

$13 can feed a child for about one month

I've been combing the web reading about the global food crisis. Everyone has different reasons for why the food crisis exists. But, the fact remains, even though people might not agree on the cause, the Global Food Crisis is very real.

Our jobs as Christians is to help in any way we can. The Bible has over 600 verses telling us that it is our job to take care of the poor. And one way we can do this is to help get people fed.

Compassion International's Global Food Crisis Fund

The current global food crisis is being called a "silent tsunami" that could plunge an additional 100 million people on every continent into hunger. Food prices have risen as much as 100 percent in some countries since 2006. Many of the countries Compassion serves are among those that have been hit hard by rising food prices.
