I was first introduced to Action Against Hunger and their work back in August when I participated in Weight Watcher’s Lose for Good campaign. My eyes were opened to the issue of extreme hunger that is affecting so many millions of people throughout the world. The numbers will surely be rising after the devastating earthquake in Haiti last week.

Action Against Hunger has named a finalist by Project 7 to receive $15,000. This funding would help them treat 75 severely malnourished children in the in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They are working against time to save the children, as they are literally on the brink of starvation there.Treating these children is not simply a matter of feeding them normal foods. Because their bodily functions are shutting down, they need special nutritional therapy and around-the-clock care.
Please take a minute and go vote. It literally only takes a few clicks of your time. You can view the finalists on Project 7’s website: http://www.project7.com/voting/feed-the-hungry/
