When reading about the hunger project it says that “Hunger can be viewed as a dimension of extreme poverty. It is often called the most severe and critical manifestation of poverty”, which basically is saying that another word/explanation for hunger is very intense poverty. This clearly shows that people suffering from hunger are also facing problems such as finding a place to sleep at night, or simply shelter. Statistics show that 9.1 million people die every year from hunger. In hawaii 168,030 people are struggling with hunger and 54,650 of those people are children. We all know that most of those 168,030 people starving are of hawaiian culture.
