How about a food fight?
Raise your hand if you have ever had a brother or sister die of starvation?
Raise your hand if you have ever had to fight through a starving crowd for a meal ration.
Raise your hand if a family member has been scavenged by vultures.
Raise your hand if a complete breakdown of government or warlords have killed a member of your family or friend.
Or if you have carried a starving child even though you are incredibly weak.
From more than 100 million children died from illness and starvation.
Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger. 175 Men, women and children will die during this lesson.
For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years.
Water is incredibly important?
Without it, you cannot grow food.
These are the areas of the world that struggle everyday from drought and famine.
