DESCRIPTION:September 28 is Freedom from Hunger Day.  Established in 2006, and declared 
 an official day of awareness by the State of California, the day 
 commemorates those around the world working tirelessly to end their own 
 hunger.  You can join hundreds of others making a difference in this 
 struggle.  And here’s how.\n\nThe intention behind Freedom from Hunger 
 Day is twofold: \n\n1) to raise awareness about the problem of global 
 hunger and poverty; and \n2) to provide caring, global citizens with 
 concrete actions to create change.  \n\nRaising awareness doesn’t mean 
 ticking off a list of haunting statistics.  Instead, Freedom from Hunger 
 Day activities help you to meaningfully engage in the lives of the people 
 Freedom from Hunger serves. \n\nOn September 28, the home page of our 
 website (www.freedomfromhunger.org) will be devoted to this day of 
 awareness.  You will have an opportunity to experience the lives of women 
 who are pulling themselves out of poverty.  \n\nWatch video clips taken by 
 staff in the field.  Download sound bites of women sharing dreams for 
 themselves and their families.  Participate in a live conversation with 
 Freedom from Hunger’s President, Chris Dunford, and ask questions about 
 the solutions we are taking to end global hunger and poverty.  Listen in as 
 staff share on-the-ground experiences in real time in Africa or 
 India.\n\nAnd learn how you can help.\n\nBecause this year’s Freedom from 
 Hunger Day activities will take place online, the outreach possibilities 
 are endless.  Whether you live in Idaho or Michigan, California or New 
 York, you can join in.  \n\nPeople are pledging to invite friends and 
 family to join them on September 28 for a viewing party as we premier our 
 new, inspiring video online.  You too can gather friends and learn 
 together.  Start a dialogue.  Explore ideas.  Even better:  create an 
 action plan.\n\nFreedom from Hunger’s website will be filled with action 
 steps for making a difference.  Something simple:  send a free e-card to 
 raise awareness about ending hunger.  A bigger step:  invite Freedom from 
 Hunger to give a video conference presentation in your community.\n\nLearn 
 more about the ways women are empowered to change their own lives.  Step 
 into their shoes and see their communities through their eyes.  Plan ahead 
 and save the date:  September 28.  Visit www.freedomfromhunger.org today 
 for a schedule of online events.  We will be waiting for you online.\n\n
