The world is suffering from two kinds of hunger; the hunger of the body and the hunger of the heart. There is something each of us can do about both kinds of hunger.One of the “small changes” we ask people to make is to save their “small change” for hunger relief. We use the small change donated to supply oral re-hydration salt (ORS) packets to starving people. The dehydration that accompanies starvation can make it impossible for a person dying from hunger to accept the nutrition that can save them. ORS packets are an essential tool to start the healing process. Thousands of people are dying today for want of this miraculous packet.What would you give to help save a life? An ORS packet costs 10 cents! The Small Change idea is simple and powerful. Simply by saving and donating your small change to Small Change, you can save lives. 100% of the small change you donate is used for hunger relief. As Mother Theresa has said, we may not all be able to do great deeds, but we can all do small deeds with great love.Will you as an individual , working together with the people in your workplace, school, church or other group, do this “small deed with great love?”
Remember, “No one makes a bigger mistake than the person who does nothing because they can only do a little.”
Small Change also believes in hunger prevention. A percentage of all sales of Don Eaton’s recorded music (on the Seeds Music label) is used to purchase seeds, to help people in poverty to help themselves by growing their own food.
Every 10 cents you save can make the difference between life and death for one starving person. Click here to see what a dime will buy.
