The most important thing I have learned by doing this assignment is the significance of education in all contexts. The single most important concept I’ve come to recognize is that one cannot end world hunger in one step; rather, it is a lifelong process that we must be continuously addressing. The problem is not alleviated by simple actions that only temporarily fix the enduring problem. Rather, the problem as a whole must be taking into consideration and the very core of said problem must be addressed. Support through education and access to such is considered the core of world hunger. Education gives those at risk a better chance of obtaining a job and overcoming their circumstance of poverty and hunger. In retrospect, if I had donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society, it may have only been a temporary fix to the cycle of poverty. By addressing education needs, I believe that it is a more permanent and lasting effect that will not only aid the individual, but the community around them and society as a whole.
