Compassion International is raising awareness of extreme food costs
-While most of us here in America will commit to cutting coupons to offset costs, the poor around the world will cut meals.
"Severe food shortage threatens survival of millions of children and families worldwide. Average food prices around the world have risen at staggering levels over the past three years."
Mark Hanlon - senior VP for Compassion International-USA
Worldwide: Rice has risen 217%...Wheat…136%...Maize…125%...Soybeans…107%
For example: Food prices in Ethiopia rose 200% in 2008
Thanks for helping and praying…
For every child sponsored during our ‘WBFJ Days of Compassion’…WBFJ donated $25 dollars (or over $3,300) to help fight hunger around the world on Global Food Crisis Awareness Day.
