Conversation for Empowerment in Ending World Hunger

Welcome!

We would like to invite you to join a unique conversation for empowerment in ending world hunger.  Discourses – the words, conversations, and language we use around a certain topic – are powerful governors of thinking and action, and can move us forward, or hold us back. Our theory to be explored here is that efforts based on a discourse for long-term sustainability and community empowerment are more effective in moving towards a world without hunger than acts of charity. This discourse goes beyond even ‘teaching a person to fish’, to honoring their inherent capabilities and knowledge of how to end their own hunger, and empowering their efforts. We believe that by focusing on and supporting efforts consistent with a discourse of empowerment, we can shift the paradigm away from traditional charity efforts that sustain cycles of dependency, and move the world more rapidly towards a world without hunger.  Please join us and help define and promote this discourse through the ever-growing world of social media and global commitment.
