Take some time<strong> to contrast and compare <\/strong>your day and the food you eat with that of these kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. It is a pity that sometimes we do not appreciate what we have and we seem to forget our blessings. To help yourself grow in gratitude towards your received blessings,<strong> you can print a placemat template<\/strong> from the pdfs resources available and<strong> on the plate draw<\/strong> or <strong>stick pictures<\/strong> of your favourite food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.  Now, try<strong> to remember<\/strong> when was the last time you ate your favourite food. On the same placemat template, next to the plate you can now answer these questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How <strong>did <\/strong>your favourite food<strong> taste<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How <strong>did you feel <\/strong>when you<strong> saw <\/strong>your favourite food on the plate <strong>and<\/strong> you <strong>ate it<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Unfortunately, like in the small video of step 1 a lot of children and even grownups around the world <strong>have empty plates in front of them almost every day<\/strong>.&nbsp; Many forgot when was the last time if there ever was a time in their life when they enjoyed the taste of their favourite food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Can you <strong>think why<\/strong> these people <strong>suffer famine<\/strong> and at times they <strong>die from <\/strong>hunger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. People are suffering from hunger not because there is not enough food in the world for everyone <strong>but because some political and business leaders are not ready to share<\/strong> what they have with others who do not have it. This is called economic greed.&nbsp; This economic greed leads to<strong> injustice<\/strong>.&nbsp; Most probably you felt pity when you saw the clip of step 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Feeling pity and speaking of unfairness on our own will<strong> not stop<\/strong> these children and their families from suffering famine and dying because of hunger. Can you think of ways how you can help?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some ideas of how you can help:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>a) be grateful for what you have.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>b) share what you have in your everyday life without expecting anything in return.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>c) avoid waste and gluttony.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) <strong>)&nbsp; support missionary initiatives and other programs.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> The video \u2018 Feeding America Food Rescue\u2019<\/strong> <strong><em>can show that there are possible ways of learning how to make use of our food wisely <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Feeding America Food Rescue\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IAUqBh4jaxU?start=12&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>9. All of this will still be not enough to end famine and hunger worldwide.&nbsp; For this dream to come true some political and business leaders need to change their values, ideas and priorities. <strong>&nbsp;For this to happen we can all unite in prayer.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. <strong>Find a comfortable place<\/strong>, <strong>close your eyes<\/strong> and<strong> pray to God<\/strong> to open the minds and the hearts of all world leaders and businessmen to be ready to share their resources without expecting anything in return.&nbsp; In this way, there will be no more empty plates for anyone. &nbsp;<em>Example:-&nbsp; Dear God, while I thank you for the food I have, I ask you please to forgive me when I waste it and to please guide all the leaders in the world to make the right decisions and have at their hearts the safeguarding of human dignity.&nbsp; In this way, everyone will have his share of food daily.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11. You can now <strong>place <\/strong>your placemat showing the drawing of your favourite food somewhere next to where you eat your food so<strong> that it will remind you to thank God<\/strong> for your daily food and <strong>to pray for the world leaders<\/strong> to be willing <strong>to share their share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video link entitled: \u2018Ending Poverty and Hunger &#8216; can help with raising awareness that when we speak of our own dignity we are speaking of human dignity.&nbsp; Given so, if one human elsewhere around the globe is suffering from hunger, we are all suffering and we all need to do something to safeguard our dignity as human beings.&nbsp; We are one human race-together we should stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ending poverty and hunger\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j7KKZ6v5o34?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Further to the links provided for this lesson, for the Catholic Believers this video link: \u2018Empty\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/skitguys.com\/videos\/empty\">https:\/\/skitguys.com\/videos\/empty<\/a> can offer some extra food for thought for the root of the problem of greediness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1227,"template":"","topic":[29,33,11],"resource-category":[128],"resource-type":[22],"language":[24],"activity-type":[],"related":[],"activity-set":[],"class_list":["post-13458","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","topic-community","topic-justice","topic-the-world","resource-category-lesson-plan","resource-type-prayer","language-english"],"toolset-meta":{"field-group-for-resources":[],"custom-fields":{"subtitle":{"type":"textfield","raw":""}},"resource-material":{"hide-material":{"type":"checkbox","raw":"0"}},"resource-details":{"resource-shortdescription":{"type":"wysiwyg","raw":"During this learning time, participants are invited to describe, recall the taste, and be grateful for their favourite food.\u00a0 While relating this good taste to the good mood which follows after eating their favourite meals, participants will then be reminded of the worldwide famine and hunger resulting from injustice and economic greed.
