Awareness + Action = Impact Click HERE to sign the petition and join the fight against world hunger! There are more than 850 million chronically hungry people in the world, most of them women and children. Every year, 10 million people die of hunger - more than TB, Malaria, and HIV/AIDS combined; one child every five seconds. Lobby your representatives to keep our commitment to the Millennium Development Goals and increase U.S. support for international hunger relief.http://ga0.org/campaign/hunger_petition_gccshapeimage_30_link_0
