Have you ever been starving? Really starving? No. Voluntary diets or superficial anorexia do not count.
Doctors Without Borders has a series of campaigns that touch on hunger issues. Some are presented in films and photography formats. Please spend a few moments checking them out. Participate or help spreading the words. Love is powerful!
Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. The organization is committed to bringing quality medical care to people caught in crisis regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation. In 1999, MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize.

I. Starved for Attention
A multimedia campaign by MSF exposing the neglected and largely invisible crisis of childhood malnutrition. An estimated 195 million children worldwide suffer from the effects of malnutrition, with 90 percent living in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Many families simply cannot afford to provide nutritious food that their young children need to grow and thrive.
By signing the “Starved for Attention” online petition, you can be part of the campaign to rewrite the story of malnutrition and demand that the 195 million malnourished children get the attention they need and deserve to escape the deadly cycle of malnutrition.

II. Walk The World
A campaign supported by Word Food Program (WFP) and Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Every 6 seconds a child dies of hunger. All it takes to feed a child is 20 cents. You can participate the local walks near you or virtual walk to support the good cause. http://walktheworld.wfp.org/get_involved
III. Living in Emergency
Living in Emergency is a documentary of lives of MSF in the fields. Screening in the theaters on June 4th. http://livinginemergency.com
