Drew gives back

Drew Barrymore really does care, she was named Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations . Drew is trying to get relief for children in Africa, she does not understand why these children go for days without food and truly wants to help, she is working as an advocate for school feeding programs in developing countries. Drew was so sad to learn that half of these children only go to school because they will get one cup of food, many of these children don't even eat all the food and take it home so they can share it with their families. Drew wants to find a way to bring more food into the school systems so children don't go starving and can have the concentration to learn, if these children are able to learn they may eventually have the chance to create a better life for themselves and their families. It is so sad how much we take for granted, many people are trying to make a difference in these countries the most famous one of all is U2 front man Bono, "American Idol" held a huge telethon called "Idol Gives Back" and raised close to $60 million for underprivileged children in Africa and America. There are so many things that we take for granted but when you see a young child starving to death it makes you realize what is truly important in life.
