The World Food Program estimated that 285 Million People Face Starvation...this even before the War in Ukraine.
Over 2 Billion People live in Water-Stressed Countries as a result of extreme climate and population growth.
In the Horn of Africa alone, over 7 Million Livestock have died due to an exceptional four year drought. In fact, many parts of the world are experiencing the worst droughts in over 70 years

I urge each of you to suggest the same to your Church, your Political Representatives and Societal Leaders in general.
The Olde Saying Comes Readily to Mind...they came for (fill in the blank) but I stood silent, then they came for (again fill in the blank) and finally they came for me and there was no one left to help me.
We have the chance and opportunity to make a once in a lifetime contribution to the Welfare of the World and Its Peoples.
