A mother is driving a little girl to her friend’s house for a play date. ‘Mommy,’ the little girl asks, ‘how old are you?’ ‘Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age,’ the mother replied. ‘It’s not polite.’

‘OK’, the little girl says, ‘How much do you weigh?’ ‘Now really,’ the mother says, ‘those are personal questions and are really none of your business.’ Undaunted, the little girl asks, ‘Why did you and Daddy get a divorce?’  ‘That is enough questions, young lady, honestly!’

The exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to play. ‘My Mom won’t tell me anything about her,’ the little girl says to her friend. ‘Well,’ says the friend, ‘all you need to do is look at her drivers license. It is like a report card, it has everything on it.’

Later that night the little girl says to her mother, ‘I know how old you are, you are 32.’  The mother is surprised and asks, ‘How did you find that out? ‘I also know that you weigh 140 pounds.’

The mother is past surprised and shocked now.  ‘How in heaven’s name did you find that out? ”And,’ the little girl says triumphantly,’I know why you and daddy got a divorce.’ ‘Oh really?’ the mother asks.. ‘Why?’

‘Because you got an F in sex.’

Thank you very much CT for your inspirational email.
I feel renewed and inspired by the words… Have an AWESOME weekend everyone!

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there…to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

The world food crisis is skyrocketing – steadily rising prices are squeezing billions and triggering food riots from Bangladesh to South Africa. Aid agencies say 100 million people are facing starvation.

In response, the United Nations is convening an emergency summit of world leaders in Rome this week. There is a real danger that rich country leaders will push half measures and band-aid solutions – we need a huge global outcry to demand rapid, massive, coordinated action.

The head of the UN, Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, will receive our petition at the summit at 9:30AM on Wednesday morning. This is a huge opportunity for our voice to reach our leaders directly, but we need half a million voices in the next 48 hours. Click below to sign the petition:

Already over 200,000 Avaaz members have joined our call for emergency food aid and deeper solutions such as investing in food production in poor countries and fixing harmful rich country policies such as burning food as biofuels. Our campaign was launched in response to a personal video appeal to our community from the foreign minister of Sierra Leone, where 90% of the population are facing severe hunger. Click above to watch the video.

The food crisis, like the climate crisis, is a planetary emergency. It’s another sign of how interdependent and fragile our world is. And how we all need to work together, across all our borders and divisions, to save it.

With hope,

Paul, Ricken, Graziela, Galit, Iain, Ben, Pascal, Veronique, Milena and the whole Avaaz team.
