Are you Hungry for Change?

Today we had a visitor from Cafod, David Brinn, who talked to the whole school about CAFOD's Lenten project, Hungry for Change.  He told us some extraordinary facts like, ...Did you know that one out of eight people will go hungry today?  or, that there is enough food in the world only it's just in the wrong place. It certainly made us think.
David then came into Y4J and Y3H classes and worked with us on ways we can help change the world for the better.  We started by writing our own 'grace before meals' on a plate and then we wrote a message to David Cameron for when he hosts the G8 summit later this year.  Here are some of our messages:

Dear Mr Cameron,
It’s not fair.  We want you to change that there are 1 in 8 people going hungry today.  We can change this if you help us! A lot of people will die today.  I know how powerful you are.  Let the poor people be healthy and happy.”  Natalia

Dear Prime Minister,
Please use your power to make a change because I think it’s not fair to starve so please, please, help and change somebody’s life.  Talia

Stop this crisis!
Innocent humans have to face the consequences.  I say stop it!! The world is hogging the food and that’s not fair!  Great and powerful, DO SOMETHING!!!
Kai

Dear Mr Cameron,
Please make a change to the world.  There are so many families who die from starvation, partly because of you.  DO SOMETHING!!!   Jake.

We are now thinking of ways in which we and the school can raise money so that people do not go hungry.  Watch out for our ideas!
