What does hunger
mean? (You can be hungry and there is world
hunger. How are they related?) What percentage of
the world's population is hungry? What does severe
hunger feel like? Test your knowledge of hunger by
taking our hunger quiz--topics vary weekly--and during
July Hunger Notes will donate $.02 to Action Against
Hunger for its work in
Ethiopia. World Hunger Education Service thanks the Williamsburg Community Chapel of Williamsburg, VA and Garner United Methodist Church of Garner, NC for their recent contributions to support our work

At 15,000 feet, Mount Toromocho, 86 miles from Lima, is comparable to any mountain in Europe. It gets its name from its shape - The Bull With No Horns. And it is composed almost entirely of copper ore: two billion tons of it. It could become the most productive copper mine anywhere on earth. Now it belongs, in effect, to China.
