Battling world hunger starts here at home
Over 24,000 people die from hunger or hunger-related causes each day across the world. Around 18,000 of these are children. The leadership class at SDSU is declaring April 10 through 14 as Fight Hunger Week. Help do your part to help fight world hunger, whether it is this week or all year long.
