What we can do to help ease world hunger (part 1)

     As we mark World Humanitarian Day today, the biggest humanitarian challenge in the world is the drought crisis in the Horn of Africa - which could become a catastrophe. But it's a catastrophe we can all help prevent. If we learn lessons from the past and act fast, we can save hundreds of thousands of lives. And we can stop droughts like this having such an impact in future years.

   
     Stop Hunger Now is an international hunger relief organization that coordinates the distribution of food and other life-saving aid around the world. The organization is driven by a vision of a world without hunger and a mission to end hunger in our lifetime by providing food and life-saving aid to the worlds most vulnerable and by creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources.

  
     Stop Hunger Now’s meal packaging program provides volunteers the opportunity to package dehydrated, high protein, and highly nutritious meals that are used in crisis situations and in school feeding programs for schools and orphanages in developing countries around the world.

   
      In its efforts to respond to emergency needs around the world Stop Hunger Now receives and distributes significant donations of in-kind aid. These donations are large quantities of food; medicines, medical supplies and other such items as may be of use in fighting hunger and providing relief in a crisis.
