"No
society has fulfilled its democratic promise if people go hungry... If some go
without food they have surely been deprived of all power. The existence of hunger
belies the existence of democracy."
"Heifer
International deserves its stellar reputation. Its approach offers immediate help
to our planet's most vulnerable citizens; and it builds community strength for
longer-term solutions. Linking people across continents, Heifer is the positive
face of globalization--connecting communities around the world through hands-on
projects that get to the root causes of hunger."
Hunger
is a people-made phenomenon, so the central issue is power: the power of those
who make the decisions about what is grown and who, or what, it's grown for.
"What
an extraordinary time to be alive. We’re the first people on our planet to have
real choice: we can continue killing each other, wiping out other species, spoiling
our nest. Yet on every continent a revolution in human dignity is emerging. It
is re-knitting community and our ties to the earth. So we do have a choice. We
can choose death; or we can choose life."
Hope
is not what we find in evidence, it's what we become in action.
