Our submission (& solution) to Google's 10 to the 100th Project: "a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible"

If you believe in the cause and care to help, here's what you can DO:

1)SHARE the video with friends--
SPREAD the word (& video) far & wide!

2)CLICK here for a reminder to vote: http://www.project10tothe100.com
& MARK your calendar for March 17 (the day voting opens)

3)VOTE "Hungry for Change" on March 17, & ask family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues to do the same

4)CONTACT Jamie at HungryforChange1@gmail.com with ideas about how to SPREAD THE WORD and
MAKE "Hungry for Change" a REALITY!

Like Bank of America's "Keep the Change" program, with every (participating) bank card purchase made, the purchase amount is rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the change is transferred into a "savings" account. Through "Hungry for Change", however, the change will, instead, be transferred as a MICRO LOAN, NOT a donation, to an account used to buy school lunches for starving children in the developing world.

According to the United Nations' World Food Programme, "Every five seconds, a child dies of hunger." Through "Hungry for Change", YOUR CHANGE literally SAVES LIVES. FOREVER.

"Hungry for Change" links two simple, innovative, profound ideas to create one world-changing solution, with the potential to impact millions of lives--immediately and permanently. "Hungry for Change" participants will "effortlessly" lend their "spare change" as "Grameencredits" (via Grameen Bank), and in the process, feed children in the developing world through school-based lunch programs. HfC makes giving effortless, automatic, affordable (to everyone), and sustainable.

"Hungry for Change" will link the "savings" program to an initiative like the WFP's "Fill the Cup", which for 25 US cents, provides a hungry child with a school-based meal of rice, beans or porridge. "Hungry for Change" makes it easy and effortless to give back to the world's children, by lending all, or a portion of your savings, to help permanently eradicate extreme poverty & hunger, and to help achieve universal primary education.

The WFP states the problem clearly: Our planet produces enough food for every man, woman, and child to live healthy and productive lives. Yet, over 300 million of the world's children suffer needlessly from chronic hunger. With an average annual savings of only $300, every Hungry for Change participant could feed six school children for an entire year.

Over time, with the help of its strategic partners like Grameen Bank, "Hungry for Change" will grow to include financial (& other) institutions around the world, and in just a few short years, impact the lives of millions of children and families.

Clever idea.

May I ask who the money goes to? In other words, what organization implements the food program?

What percentage of each donation goes to food?

Good luck!
