Hehe...no one gets it. When I mention statistics like that, or generally talk about the miserable people of the world, others complain. L&P

It is estimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That's roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each year.

About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five.


CLICK CLICK CLICK... i don't know if it really helps that much but at least it's something.

Well, since this is my line of work for now, I guess I should use the opportunity to inform you all that this year has been designated UN international year of freshwater. Loads of initiatives, meetings going on, but if it's info you're after, why not try http://www.wateryear2003.org/ev.php?URL_ID=1462&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201

that's all.

We can't have cosy cartels developing in the UN. Think what ammo it would give the Bush Brigade Wink

pah, i should be so lucky. nope, i'm working on this stuff at mostly english/welsh level but since the department i work for barely seems interested in the whole year of fresh water thing (maybe i should contaminate their coffee supply, then see how they like it, hehe) i've been looking at the un stuff instead.

Of course, when I am working for the UN, you'll be the first to know. And I'm sure you'll remember me when you're president of usa/world/bravecaptaination.
