You can't teach a starving man to fish!The G8 shift of focus from food aid to agriculture is frustrating... both long and short term hunger solutions are needed.
The world food program combines both well with their purchase for progress: http://bit.ly/wvmC
By buying food aid locally, the feed the same local, the local economy and local agriculture.
It's a clever balance between filling the hungry gap, while investing in the future.
Anyway, investing in urgent hunger needs is an investment in the future. It brings political stability while boosting health and promoting global human development gains.

[This inspiring poem was featuring in the movie “Coach Carter ”]
Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate,
Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure.
It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.
We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?
Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.
Your Playing Small Doesn’t Serve The World.
There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won’t Feel Insecure Around You.
We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.
We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.
It’s Not Just In Some Of Us; It’s In Everyone.
And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.
And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others
- Marianne Williamson -
(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )
God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .
God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.
From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.
Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.
[Enoch Mankayi Sontonga]

I do not believe that more AID is the answer for Africa. This is not the first time AID has been given to Africa and still no improvement. The money is stolen into foreign bank accounts. What Africa needs in not AID because there is no evidence that it helps the continent!
In addition, I am fed up of Africa being the beggar continent, not India, Asia, it is always Africa, while African officials travel to Europe regularly to shop with lavish properties in the West!
One of the basic problems of foreign aid and trade is that the foreign money acquired is of limited use. It mostly can be used to employ foreign labor. Africa's problems need to be solved with African labor, because unemployment is one of your real problems. Importation of needed goods is often the only real option available, but there is usually someone whose ability to address part of the need is sabotaged. This may seem abstract, but in the past year there have been several attacks on aid workers delivering food because they were bankrupting local farmers.
Foreign money can also buy private jets, limousines, military equipment, and foreign land. Your nations need little of those.
Aim your economies at domestic consumption and needs. If there is surplus renewable resource to export, export that if you can, but not those things your descendants will need too.
