The following is correspondence between a friend of mine in Africa and
myself. It answers the question of "What can I do to end hunger, I am
just one tiny person in the Universe"?

Hi Kathy,
I hope you're good.I have keen interest to stay in touch and learn from
you ideas that can change Africa.I come from a land locked country with
full of hunger and poverty plus malnutrition among children.
I am a change agent who mostly volunteer in rural communities since I do
not have a job country hence I need to sharpen my skills in building my
career at the same time touching people's lives with relevant
interventions.
It is of my great understanding that you work at policy
level,however,prior to your level I am sure you have done some ground
work that can be helpful in my country context particularly in rural
setting for the rural poor.
With thanks!!
Dear ......
I like you started at ground zero with my hunger activism. I was without
a job and instead of sitting around doing nothing I reached out and did
whatever I could do for those that had less than I, much as you are
doing now by volunteering in rural communities. There is much that needs
to be change in America with regard to our food supply and getting food
to those in need, many many people in America are hungry and this
should not be. The answer to solving hunger in Africa and America has to
be solved using completely different methods but with the same goal, to
end hunger all hunger over the entire planet. Each country must look
around with their own eyes in their own country, identify the reasons
for hunger and identify what solutions will bring the most food to the
most people with the least amount of monetary input. Tenacity gets the
job done, always always looking for solutions, never listening to those
who say it cannot be done, and avoiding those who simply have no
compassion for the pain of their fellow human beings.
As you help others you will find help comes your own way in regard to
your job situation. That is the way of the universe, the energy you put
out will return to you in exact proportion and kind.Like attracts like.
Yours is a wonderful spirit it is the spirit of love and compassion.
I have been working for years on the political level and just keep
putting out the same message and that is, hunger is unconscionable and
it is time for it simply not exist anymore.
I will insert a link to my political blog here as you might find it
interesting.
Blessings
Kathy
