"If you want to eliminate hunger, everybody has to be involved." - Bono.
At a very young age, my parents have always taught my sisters and I that we should share what we have, no matter how little or how much you have. And if you do not have money to give, contribute in other ways. In my teens, I knew someone not that much older than me grew up not having much and sometimes would go to bed hungry or occasionally only had a meal of instant noodles not by choice but circumstances. We all have or might have been through some tough times and we occasionally need a hand to reach out to. Let's spread awareness about hunger and decrease the stigma for those in need.
"Singapore is an affluent nation and, therefore, does not have a poverty index. However, it is evident that relative poverty exists and, despite the wide availability of food, food insecurity remains a concern. In this regard, community kitchens are already operational, where members help prepare and cook meals. A community-based food support system involving vulnerable groups, such as elderly residents or single mothers, would help address several food insecurity challenges such as social isolation, stigma and inadequate food. They could even draw a small income by providing cooking classes to other community members and, in the process, enable the community to come together through food." *more on the Brink News article link.
The report also underscores the importance of education and increasing awareness about the issue, as that will “help prevent misconceptions [of food insecurity] and increase empathy for food-insecure individuals.” Additionally, education could also result in a “less stigmatized” food-support environment in the country. *more on the Brink News article link.
While many of us may not see hunger, it does exist & we can do something about it.
Together we can help to spread awareness on the existence of hunger & how we can all help out no matter how small the contribution. It'll make a huge difference to someone's life. The min. amount to donate is $10, you can pool 10 of your friends and family to donate $1 each or find some fun ways to pool a pot and donate to this cause. I believe that collectively we can achieve it! 100% of the funds raised will go towards FFFA.
For the past years, I've done some fundraising for the community at a smaller scale. This time round, I decided to work towards a campaign on a slightly larger outreach. I had an idea so I sat down with some beautiful souls and decided to embark on this - Fight For Food Campaign - Towards Zero Hunger & Waste Less Food.
Keep in the loop on the Fight For Food Campaign - how you can be part of the movement, ways to help out & more - WILDER - FACEBOOK + INSTAGRAM DONATE - http://bit.ly/35yirmb
After you've made your donation, what's next? In my effort to start the conversation going on how we can WASTE-LESS FOOD, when you make donations I will give back by having workshops and more. Find out more - HERE
Thank you to some awesome souls who has been so patient with me when I approach them for advice, those who's offered to help out! Amaze! Lastly, thank you because no matter your contributions, it makes a huge difference is someone's life! So thank you.
*As a continuous part of an effort to raise more awareness towards the campaign, I'm hoping to train towards a fight match which is in the works. TBC, follow us for updates! If you'd like to collaborate, holler at me.
