What can you do for one dollar? Not that much. For one dollar, you can buy 1 song on Itunes. You can buy around .3 gallons of gas. At my school, you can by 3 cookies for one dollar. It doesn't seem like much of anything, right? But in reality, you can do a LOT with one dollar.
With one dollar, you can fill four cups with food for children suffering from severe hunger and malnutrition. To you and me, four meals might not seem like a lot, but think about it:
According to the World Food Programme...
...for the first time in history, the number of hungry people worldwide will exceed one billion...
...one child dies every six seconds from hunger...
It takes 25 cents to fill a cup for one child. 5 dollars to feed a baby for one year.
So the real question here is not whether or not we are able to give but rather, if it is possible for us to make a difference in the world for the better, why wouldn't we?
Below is a video that I've already posted in the Get Inspired section, but if you haven't seen it yet take a look!
