I will beat Krucoff to the punch with this one...*

Because this is a charity blog, right?

Here's the deal:
The World Food Programme (WFP) has said that high food prices are creating the biggest challenge that WFP has faced in its 45-year history, a silent tsunami threatening to plunge more than 100 million people on every continent into hunger. This is the new face of hunger – the millions of people who were not in the urgent hunger category six months ago but now are,” said WFP Executive Director Josette Sheeran, who is meeting British Government officials after addressing a UK parliamentary hearing in London.

“The response calls for large-scale, high-level action by the global community, focused on emergency and longer-term solutions,” she said.

The campaign is called Fill the Cup and you can donate here. (Unless you're Paul Theroux, then you can just save the world by teaching.)
