Hunger all around us.

The Jakarta we live in today is a tough place to live, like many metropolitan cities, it has become a place where people are struggling for a place in the economic world. Like and unlike many other metropolitan cities in the world, Jakarta has a huge percentage of residents who are still classified as poor. Many of which are fighting to make a living, many of which are hungry everyday.

Some people starve to death. It is indeed a cause of deaths in Jakarta. Yet, many of those who are already privileged enough are too caught up in our own activities to even notice those who are starving on the streets, too busy to lend a helping hand to our fellow Jakartans.


What are we thinking of these days?
Sometimes, humans are labelled as selfish, but it is not the truth. Many of us are willing to give a helping hand.
The real problem is how many people are not aware of the facts?
We pass streetkids in Jakarta who are begging for money for on the streets everyday, yet it has become a habit for us to ignore them.
We have been closing one eye to the sufferings of these people.


The truth is, hunger is all around us, wether we have been aware of it or not.
