If we can send a man to the moon,
and create miracles in science, arts,
engineering and medicine...surely,
we can prepare better for future viruses,
make sure that people do not go hungry
anywhere in the world... and everyone has
access to descent housing, water, health care and
education.
What Covid-19 is teaching us is to 'awaken'
ourselves, to reveal who we truly are, get
deep into our essence, become
selfless and reach out to those in need at
local, national and global level...because
we are all one!
Once we awaken, we will begin to change
our broken economic, business, political
and financial systems for the benefit
of all. Not just for 1% of people who control
a high percentage of world's net wealth!

Some statistics (before Covid 19 hit the world)
The world’s richest 1 percent, those with more than $1 million, own 44 percent of the world’s wealth. Their data also shows that adults with less than $10,000 in wealth make up 56.6 percent of the world’s population but hold less than 2 percent of global wealth.
Of the 822 million undernourished people in the world, 113 million face acute hunger meaning they are in urgent need of food and nutrients.
Approximately 3.1 million children die from undernutrition each year (UNICEF, 2018a). Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more than half of global child deaths, as undernutrition can make children more vulnerable to illness and exacerbate disease (UNICEF, 2018a).
“For the world’s hungry and undernourished people, climate change is an increasingly relevant threat multiplier”.
- Global Hunger Index.
