During this unit, we will have an action piece of raising money to fight hunger. Trough the company Rice Bowls, we will collect change that will then be donated to give food to orphanages all over the world. Click their link below to read more about it and watch some great videos! To really gain an understanding of how many people in this world are hungry, we did an activity. One out of six people are hungry and over one billion people have to travel just to get water to drink that still may not be clean. We split up into groups and were each given a paper plate and a paper cup. Then, all but one person in each group got school boxes and drew their favorite meal on their plate. After having our meals, we each got a cup of water. Well sort of... Each person with the meal got a full clean cup of water, while our friend with the empty plate got a half cup of dirty water. We all discussed what it was like to be having our meals while another person had nothing and then talked about how we can help those that are hungry. We each received our Rice Bowl and then listed ways to get extra money to fill them up at home.
