Vor ein paar Tagen erreichte mich eine Nachricht von Anton Mangstl aus Italien. Dr. Mangstl ist dort Direktor der Knowledge Exchange and Capacity Building Division bei der FAO – gemeinhin auch als Welternährungsorganisation bekannt.
Diese Organisation hat eine neue Online-Petition gegen den weltweiten Hunger auf den Weg gebracht und sucht nach Unterstützern. Da ich Anton Mangstls Divison und deren gute Arbeit aus erste Hand kenne, nehmen ich seinen Appell gerne auch in dieses Blog auf.

Dear Colleagues,
Over one billion people live in chronic hunger… Every six seconds, a child dies of hunger…
By signing a new on-line petition to eradicate world hunger at www.1billionhungry.org, you can actively lend your voice to a growing global movement, and send a powerful message to world leaders: that it is unacceptable that one billion people live in chronic hunger, and changing this reality should be our top priority.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could help to widely promote this cause. Here are some of the many ways that you can assist:
- Sign on to the Petition at www.1billionhungry.org, and encourage your friends and families to do the same.
