Hunger Interest and Action

Tomorrow I have no school. I decided I should do something interesting, preferably outdoors since I know it will be nice out. I thought to myself, what if I just walk? I could pick a direction and walk, stopping halfway through the day to turn around and walk back home. But why would I do something like that? Why simply walk? Here's why:

I'm going to wear a t-shirt that says "THP.org" on it, to advertise The Hunger Project. I'll also wear a sign on cardboard that says, "20,000 DIE FROM HUNGER EVERY DAY," and I will eat nothing all day.

I am protesting hunger. I suspect that most people already know that there are millions of hungry people, so I'm not trying to raise awareness, per se. But I am trying to draw interest. Interest and action.

Although I know most people have work or school tomorrow, it can't hurt to ask: does anyone want to walk too, in your hometown? Even just for part of the day. Write a shocking statistic on a piece of cardboard and carry it. Who knows what kind of difference this could make? *idealistically hopeful smile* :)

P.S. Yes, I know my previous post said this blog is on hiatus, but I just had to post this.
