There are lots of starving people in the world who are too poor or don't have the ability to grow their own food. Richer countries like USA & Europe that can produce should send their surplus foods to help the starving. I learned there are hungry people right here in Onekama that need help. Some of them have lost their jobs. We need to remember to help people in need who live close to our homes, also. I like the Empty Bowl Project because it gets kids involved and interested in what is happening in the real world. Projects like this make a difference. ...Tim B.

I feel really sad that so many people are dying because of starvation. I know we can help if we all work together. The Empty Bowl Project is a great way to help others. I believe I have the power to change the world and make it better. ...Sarah W.

World hunger is really unfair. There is an unequal distribution of food. Some countries are so much richer in resources and money than others. We all need to share. ... Kaylie M.

I learned about world hunger and that 40,000 children die a day because of hunger and poverty. That makes me so sad to know that so many kids die. I'm thinking of ways I can help more, like Empty Bowl Projects and Canned Goods Drives. I'm proud to be making a difference in this world. ...Casey P.

Learning about world hunger is part of the Empty Bowl Project.

I learned that world hunger is more complicated than what you see on TV. I was amazed at all the suffering hungry people especially in India, Asia, Africa and Latin America. I feel proud to be able to help. ... Lee D.

The Empty Bowl Project is a good way to learn what people who are hungry are going through. I learned we can make a difference if we all do our part. ...Raychell N.

So many other countries don't have as much as we do. That really disappoints me. I'm glad to have the opportunity to help. ... Josh W.
