More than 800 million people in the world go hungry.
In developing countries, 6 million children die each year, mostly from hunger-related causes.
In the United States, 13 million children live in households where people have to skip meals or eat less to make ends meet. That means one in ten households in the U.S. are living with hunger or are at risk of hunger.
The United Nations Development Program estimates that the basic health and nutrition needs of the world's poorest people could be met for an additional $13 billion a year. Animal lovers in the United States and Europe spend more than that on pet food each year.

<div style="border: 1px dashed black; background-color: #eee; width: 90%; padding: 10px">On the door of 21st century, the wars and violence around the world don't stop taking the children's homes, parents, health, lives, childhoods and dreams away. In the last decade nearly 3 million children died, millions wounded and lost arms, legs or eyes to landmines. Every one of 200 children, more than 10 million are effected from the wars psychologically. The children who suffered from the wars raise suffering generations. As the victims of wars; being used as child soldiers, mixing landmines with toys, living in refugee camps they are growing up as wounded souls.

<b>This !!!</b> This is the world we live in.
<b>And what we do about it?</b>
- We want a new fast car.
- We want a big nice house.
- We dream for more money to get a better life.
- we lie to get a beautiful girl laid.
- We go to parties smoke, get drunk and dream of sex.
- We are sorry about the poor children in Africa, but we have more important things to do, more parties to go to, more fun to get (because we say: <b>damn, life is short</b>)
NWO rules over us... because of us...
as one particular signature says:
we met the enemy - it is us
