A poem
Farmers weeding at noon,
Sweat down the field soon.
Who knows food on a tray,
Due to their toiling day.
Today our world houses 6.55 billion people.
Worldwide, more than 1 billion people currently live below the international poverty line, earning less than $1 per day.
854 million people across the world are suffering from hunger, up from 852 million a year ago.
Six million children under the age of 5 die every year as a result of hunger.
Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger
One child every five seconds.
A Chinese farmer is helping the hungry people. Who is he?
