Hunger is the most extreme form of poverty.

925 million people worldwide were undernourished last year.
20,000+ children die every day from hunger-related causes.
Every 3.6 seconds someone in the world dies of hunger.
226 million children globally aren’t growing properly, because of chronic hunger.
go HARDOUT for the hungry.


it's funny how God throws plans around for you.
how it changes from one to another.
or how YOU thought YOU had it all worked out.
2012 is still open to a million things right now. great.
go HARDOUT for the hungry.


so Shane from World Vision came to our school on Thursday and spoke about the Youth Ambassadors program. YES PLEASE.
i realised how much i hate seeing poverty.
i realised how much i really really want to do this. 
like really really want to be a Youth Ambassador.
i realised that God is super passionate about the needy and lost.
i realised He placed this passion in me to change lives.

man, you really can't fight against what God has planned.

go HARDOUT for the hungry.

this is a MUAC.
a Mid-Upper Arm Circumference band that measures the malnutrion of a child according to their upper arm. 

some kids fall in the red zone:

that's anything from 5 to 10 cm.

that's a tiny arm.

that's some hungry children.
that's a forgotten people.

that's one big fat opportunity: an opportunity to CHANGE LIVES.
go HARDOUT for the hungry.


can't wait to see God kick some poverty butt.

walking.

i love people.

like really really love people.

it's what makes life worth living.

besides Jesus.

i love their dreams; their hurts, their joys and celebrations, 

their hopes, their burdens, their issues and problems.

i love their voices, their laughs, their cries, their pet peeves, 

their likes, their dislikes, their unique traits and quirks.

the best part is sharing.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.

- Romans 12:14-16 

getting to know a person and all that comes with them; how they think and see, what they aspire to be and what they long for; it's all like tiny precious pieces of treasure. and the more we talk to them, the more we grow in relationship with them, we begin to build a whole collection of timeless and worthy gems.

people are on all sorts of walks in life.

and when they let you in, having shared something held so so close to their heart, 

like their boy/girl problems, 

their family troubles and 

their secret desire to be able to dance like MJ, 

you begin to walk alongside them.

you begin to walk in the shoes of one of God's children.

i'd like to be like that; able to just let my walls down; able to be an open book. 

i'd like to have people walk in my shoes and see life through my eyes and 

i'd like to do the same.

God, let me see through Your eyes, through Heaven's eyes.

so come, take a walk with me.

because life is way too short to walk alone.
