    My first suggestion to end hunger is for every one to donate $1.00 to the poor places on earth. 1. We can talk to the president about where we will be sending the food and how much money we will need. My second suggestion is that the food prices should be cut down by $2.00. 1. it will help everyone get food and people will have more money to by food.This is some reasons how we can end hunger.

    One way we can end hunger is by donating money to hungry places on Earth for food. We could talk to people in the country about donating $2 to people who need it for food. If we don't end hunger people will go hungry and maybe die. Another way to end hunger is to give some of our food to hungry people who need our help. This is how we can end hunger.

    1. You can end world hunger by donating food. You don't have to donate to a palce that just sends food to the United States, you can donate to diffrent places around the world.
    2. You can donate money. The people you are donating it to need it way more than you do.
    If you follow these suggestions and do many more actions we can end would hunger.

    If I could end hunger, I would defianatly take the opportunity. I believe that helping just one person in your lifetime is a gigantic accomplishment. I would donate a piece of food every week to the local food bank. I understand that being hungry may not be only in the topic of food. A child may be hungry for knowledge. For example, in some countries, girls may not be able to attend school. Education is one of the most important things in life. If I could end any type of hunger, I would.

    You can end world hunger by donating money to peole who dont have food. my second reson is by donating food that you like because you have alot of foods in your house and you could just eat what ever else you have. those were some ways to end world hunger

    Another way to end hunger is to give a person money for food. If a person on the street is asking you to give him or her money, don't judge or pass them. You can give them money so they can afford some food.

    1:You can donate food and money to help.You don't only have to donate just clothes.
    2:You can go on line find someone that is starving in the world and give them something.

    If you take my advice, we can all end world hunger.

    What if no one in the world was ever hungry? But a way to stop world hunger is by sending food over to different Countries and give food to people and animals. Next if you see a homeless person on the street and you have left over food in your hand give it to them.

    One way to end world hunger is for everyone to pitch in and help by possibly donating things like food or clothes or even money. Another way to end world hunger is to join a group or club that picks certain areas to help out,like a different state every month. Though the only way to make a change in the world is to stop just talking about it and to start doing it!!!

    What if you could end world hunger? Here are two ways that you can make other people's dream come true!
    #1. You could end world hunger by sending food into the food pantries and starting a canned food drive so that people who are not that wealthy can have many luxurious foods like parts of the United Sates.
    #2. Another way you could end world hunger is by helping out in a soup kitchen or starting a garden and sending 90% of the food to a pantry.

    There are so many ways to end world hunger but, we just don't think sometimes. I have come up with two ways we can help end world hunger which are: Way 1. Tons and tons of citizens like myself can make a food drive for the less fortunate. I'm sure that many will appreciate what we would have went through to provide them with food. Way 2. Each day that one of us recives allowance we can be very generous and give the less fortunate something that they can call theirs, that we provided them with. I just have a few questions to ask my readers. Would you sacrafice something that you care about for the less fortuneate? Also, some of theese people need friends and I know from the bottom of my heart that I would be honored to have a riend like that might be having a tough time in their life and I could help them. Whenever you do something good doesen't it make you feel released well, it sure makes me feel like that. One thing you all should know about me is that I love helping others and I would fight to save my friends. Thank you very muh for reading my comment and I really appreciate your time and effort to reading my comment.

    If I had a chance to end world hunger I would try my best to end it. My first reason is every month everybody should donate food and money every two weeks. The amount of money should be at least ten dollars and at least three cans of food. My second reason would be to donate your time. You can volunteer your time at a local food bank. If you have time we have one right in town. If you try hard enough you can save so many lives. Give everyone a chance!
    Question,
    How does world hunger start.

    2:You could start a food drive whu helps feed poor people in your area.

    To end world hunger, you need to work miracles. Every little bit helps, of course, so donating to charities is a good start.

    Another way to end world hunger is starting in your town. One person can change the world! If you see someone who needs food give them food or money. Most by standers would just keep walking if they saw a person in hunger. But dont keep walking pitcher yourself in that situation.

    Ending world hunger can take awhile, but if we all pitch in we can make a difference in the world!

    Two ways you could help stop world hunger include #1. You could donate food to causes that give the food to people that do not have any. #2. Start a food drive and ask as many people as you can to help donate food to it.

    I think world hunger is terrible! Though, I have faith that it can be solved!

    1.I would give up some that I care a lot about because I now a kid that does have a lot of money to have toys so I gave a lot of them to this kid and I would love giving things I love to another.
    2.I would feel released because I would know that another child would now that there is a person caring for them.

    Ending hunger is definitely possible if we all work together. Here are two ways that we can help even if it means just enough food for one person.

    1.We are so fortunate to have such an abundance of food so if we were able to donate a little bit every now and then it could save someone’s life. Many people are already giving to the hungry; all we need now is to make ‘many to all’.

    2.Many of our food goes to waste, so if we could just bundle that up (not just table scraps) we would collect a lot of needed foods to donate. I don’t want people to stop eating just to give to others, but those hungry people deserve to eat too.

    This is all I ask. I even asked my mom and we’re going to donate to the Soup Kitchen too. Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope I inspired you to take action.

    1.First I would try to start a cause to end world hunger. Then I would put it in the newspaper so people notice that there is a problem with world hunger and they can tell people so more people can help too.

    2.Then I would get people to donate food or money so every month we can help other people with world hunger.

    That's how I would end world hunger.

    World hunger starts by storms. Losing alot of food is really bad. Another reason is that pour people dont go to college and dont get edgicated.

  31. Ava,

    One way I think I can help with ending the world hunger is if I could take some time out of the day to donate food. Also another way I can help is to donate some of my allowance. Thats two reasons that I could help end world hunger! Thanks for listening!

  32. Ava,

    I totally agree with Ben. That was a great way of putting it. Your right if everyone did decide to pitch in the world hunger it would definatly end quicker.

    The two ways to end this awful hunger problem is...

    1. We should donate food and give money to charity,
    I would love to help people and donate food and
    money to people in need of this.

    2. There should be no war so we can work together to
    help other people and that will stop our hunger problems
    and war problems.

    I do love helping with the community and if that means war and hunger problems will be gone then that will be a brilliant idea!!

    What if no one in the world was ever hungry? One way to stop hunger in the world is by sending food over to different countries. Another way is if you see a homeless person on the street and you have left over food in your hand, give it to them. You could also serve food at homeless shelters and soup kitchens or donate food to food pantries. If possible you could adopt a homeless child in this country by sending money every month for food. You could also send a contribution to the Salvation Army or Red Cross for food.

    1. I would give my toys to another child because they can not afford it.

    2. I would feel good because I was able to make another person happy.

    1.We, the 5th graders, can donate food seeds for the less fortunate, they could grow crops.
    2.Also, we could teach them how to care for there environment (animals such as cows, and sheep) because cows can make milk and cheese, and sheep can make coats out of its wool.

    What country doesn't have anybody struggling from hunger?

  38. I believe in fighting world hunger but I believe in starting right here in our community. From here we can help on all different levels......state, region, then nationally. After that then we can help the world. Help your community and donate food the our local food pantry. Bring food to the Community Center and let's fight together!
