Is it possible to make hunger history?
Gorta, Ireland’s oldest charity, last week marked the launch of their online video initiative, makehungerhistory.org, which aims to collect opinions and feedback from members of the public on the issue of global hunger. With one in seven people worldwide now going hungry, this initiative aimsto help inform and mobilise the public in the fight against hunger and poverty.
Minister for Community, Rural & Gaeltacht affairs, Eamon O’Cuiv, joined Gorta CEO, Brian Hanratty, at the Dublin Docklands to launch the site, just days before the National Famine Commemoration Day took place in Skibbereen to commemorate victims of the Great Irish Famine.
