- 1. End Hunger By: My Le
- 2. Why does it resonate for me? I believed that working on achieving food insecurity can prevent serious health problems, and weakened immune systems, making people more vulnerable to diseases and illness. People who are hungry or malnourished may not have the energy to work, and children who are malnourished may not be able to concentrate in school, which could limit their future education potential.
- 3. How can my interest be applied locally? • My interest can by applied locally by volunteering at local food bank or food pantry. Food banks and pantries rely on volunteers to sort and distribute food to those in need. • Another way my interested can be applied locally is to donate to non-profit local organization, such as money, food, or other resources to the organizations to help support their work.
- 4. Where can you make the greatest contribution? • Like mentioned before, I think I can make the greatest contribution to stop hunger is supporting local food banks. Because local food banks and pantries are often the front line in the fight against hunger, providing food to those in needs. • Another contribution that I can make is to advocate in policy changes. This can include in participating in voting, or researching for candidates who are running that have similar values and goals that matches me.
- 5. Is there a feature of social media that can be uniquely applied to this goal? • Social media can help people to spread the word about hunger and ask for money to help. People can use websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to make pages about hunger and ask for donations from people all over the world. They can also share their own experiences and stories to help other people understand what hunger is like.
