Did you know that there are a billion people starving worldwide?
Around 29,000 of children under the age of five - 21 every minute -
die every day, especially due to preventable causes. More than half
of these deaths are in fact, due to hunger.
It is my wish with this message to inspire you to help the
'1billionhungry.org' project,
a worldwide initiative proposed by the United Nations Organisation for Food
and Agriculture (FAO), which I currently represent as Extraordinary Ambassador.
Our current goal is to put together 1 billion signatures from all over the world
in order to attract the attention of governments so that they will give maximum
priority to the eradication of hunger.
For this reason, we urge you to join and promote this campaign together with fellow citizens;
we would very much appreciate any collaboration you could give to promote this
project among your friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances, which would help
fulfill the proposed aims.
You can help ensure that millions of people won't die from starvation today.

You can help ensure that millions
of people around the world
won't die from starvation
in the next 60 seconds."

facebook, twitter, etc:
