Today I went to MLC to attend a lecture by Dr Michelle Smith. In front of MLC, I saw a strange thing. You can see the picture below.
The fact and statistics is printed on it. Food still occupy a large percentage(39.8%) in their total household spend. In Congo, 70% goes to food, it means people there are more likely in hunger.
I asked where is the data from? They told me they gathered these data last Saturday, and the survey is still going on.
How can I participate? I asked. Just let people know this fact and then we can change this fact and statistic. Isn’t it a good idea? College students may not give money directly, but they can collect data and spread the fact all over the world.
Although the program is funded by Farm Journal Foundation, I guess volunteer college students played a role in the Survey and HungerU Tour in different countries. This is the responsibility that our college students are able to and should shoulder.
