My hunger will subside when the sun goes down, but for millions, and maybe for even more, around the globe they will go to sleep hungry, wake up hungry and live their days hungry. \u00a0At the same time we walk into a super market and find an unimaginable abundance of food that if it is not sold with in a week’s time is thrown out in the garbage!<\/p>\n
I remember growing up and watching my neighbor hauling out boxes of produce from his truck that he salvaged from the supermarket garbage bin. \u00a0It was perfectly good food except it came out of a garbage bin.<\/p>\n
When I was studying in graduate school at Stanford University, I would love to go into the library and read up on all the various subjects that interested me outside of engineering. \u00a0Once I was in the government documents library and ran across a United Nations report on hunger. \u00a0It was noted in a study conducted back in 1980 that if the United States would give just 2% of the excess wheat that it dumps into the ocean to keep wheat prices high, they could wipe out world famine! TWO PERCENT of the EXCESS!<\/strong> I was beside myself to say the least.<\/p>\n There is no mercy being on the receiving end of hunger. \u00a0There is however great mercy for the one who puts him or her self through hunger\u00a0voluntarily\u00a0to know what it means and then does something about it to\u00a0alleviate\u00a0it from others. \u00a0Showing mercy to others produces a multiplicity effect that continues to grow.<\/p>\n On Saturday, August 15th, 2010 a local charitable foundation and food bank, Rahima Foundation<\/a> will be conducting\u00a0their\u00a07th annual Human Dignity Day by feeding the homeless in San Jose, CA. \u00a0They are looking for volunteers and it is a wonderful way to help show mercy to those who need mercy.<\/p>\n
