How To Solve World Hunger

Almost 11 million children die before their fifth birthday each year. Malnutrition and hunger-related diseases cause 60 percent of these deaths.

A young boy named Agiskhan in Myanmar was at risk of becoming part of this statistic, often crying to his mother, Hasina: "Mother, I am very hungry now and my younger sisters are crying — we haven't eaten anything since last night."

Children like Agiskhan should never have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. We need your help today to fight hunger.
CARE's response to hunger is more than providing emergency food. We combine immediate aid to those in dire need — as we did for survivors of three natural disasters in September — with long-term strategies that help communities create lasting solutions to the challenges they face.

In the case of Agiskhan, CARE helped his mother gain access to tools and training that she used to cultivate a thriving garden. She is able to provide for her family's well-being and their livelihood with the income she earns selling surplus food to her neighbors. Now, Agiskhan and his siblings joyfully chirp: "Oh! Now we can eat!"

Such success stories aren't possible without the generosity of supporters like you. Won't you please join us in the fight against hunger and poverty?

From ensuring children like Agiskhan never again cry, "I am hungry," to assisting children in Ethiopia suffering from malnutrition, your tax-deductible gift of $50, $100, $250, even $1,000 or more will help CARE save lives now, and help create a healthy future for millions of people living on the edge of hunger and poverty.

This Thanksgiving, please take a minute to remember children like Agiskhan, whose lives are at risk because they are hungry or malnourished. Let's end hunger starting today.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one traces the history of this province from the first time the huma

Davao Culinary Night

DAVAO CITY, Feb. 14, 2020 (PIA) -- The Davao Tourism Association (DATA) recently held the first-ever One Davao Culinary Night which featured indigenous inspired dishes concocted by its member chefs . Founded in 1974, the DATA is a group composed of stakeholders coming from tourism-related establishments in Davao Region. The One Davao Culinary Night at the Marco Polo Davao Ballroom on January 31 was held to coincide with the group’s belated 75th anniversary celebration. “What we really wanted to do is to define what is Davao cuisine. When we formed the DATA chef’s club composed of 10 chefs coming from our DATA restaurant members we were able to collaborate and learn from the immersion that we did with the two indigenous tribes we invited- the Kagan and the Tagabawa,” Gatchi Gatchalian, DATA president said. Gatchalian said they wanted the people to discover what Davao cuisine is, as people associate Davao cuisine to ihaw-ihaw (grilled specialties) and kinilaw (cerviche). Gatchalian

These institutions are the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Region XI, Department of Health Region XI, Davao Regional Medical Center, Southern Philippines Medical Center, and Medical Mission Group Hospital which all agreed to assist in the government’s fight against hunger and poverty in the countryside under the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty program (EPAHP). Cabinet Secretary and EPAHP Committee Chairman Karlo B. Nograles said these partnerships work in two ways. It provides institutions with a steady supply of food items, such as rice, vegetables, root crops and other farm produce, while the farmers gain regular markets for their farm yields. “EPAHP is our government’s
