We intend to collect and ship donated books from University faculty and students, and local high schools, to Cambodia for the use by Cambodian students. A Pen Pal program will allow the class to gain insight and awareness on the lives of these students and of their everyday needs. The short term goals will be evident in our class' interaction to the letters received, what their lives are like and how much these books mean to them. Long term goals will be increased education of these Cambodian students and their input to better their society. We will also increase the awareness of Cambodia's need for education to the people who will donate books and give money.
Hunger is humanity's oldest and deadliest enemy.
Hunger is a craving for food, a condition in which people lack the basic food intake to provide them with energy and nutrients for fully productive and active lives. Two out of every eleven people in the world are hungry most of the time. About every two seconds, a child in the world dies from hunger or hunger related causes. That's 13 million every year. Over a billion people on earth face hunger and starvation each day.
