They deny their own people and often sell-off donated foods. There are organizations which get around this so I would still urge people to select a trusted organization and to donate. Harrison,

It is shocking, isn't it, that people in general feel so removed from this hunger holocaust. You have a gift in reaching out as you do to these children and then sharing their stories. It is like planting mustard seeds. You may not see them sprout, but be sure that some seeds will reap a harvest of the heart. My best wishes to you in all you are doing. Tiff did a great job in helping to raise awareness of this issue with her link, didn't she? That's the beauty of blogging. Sometimes the saints do come marching in! Dear Nona,

Even if a few, as you so well said, get some help, that is just a few who will not suffer. Perhaps all we can do is to continue to raise awareness and hope for open hearts. I saw Mia Farrow on CNN the other night. It was pitiful in some ways, but I will choose to believe that her heart is in the right place, even if her mind seems a bit goofy. Dear Drama Queen,

I teach immigrant children, some from areas that are dirt poor and when I speak about some of their personal stories to my friends, I become aware of the ignorance of so many who do not assign the facts of world poverty to actual people. It is a problem. Anyway, thanks to Tiff for the link which I plan to put on my blog. Your article put me in mind of a quote attributed to St. Francis of Assisi “For it is in giving that we receive”.

You have a good grip on the situation but we will always have hungry people unfortunately. I doubt there is a way to keep the entire world fed, but I have to agree that if we can feed just a handful then that's a handfull fewer people who will starve. This is truly a sad situation and I wish I had an answer. Thanks for helping to bring this situation to the attention of at least a few people. Mia Farrow is on a hunger strike to bring awareness to the world. I'm not sure adding another hungry person to the ranks is the best way to deal with this. Isn't there already enough starvation?
