Research famine in our world today. We will pick individual areas of the world
for each person to research.
Use the interactive map of world hunger to find out more about hunger in the
area you are assigned.
Research to find the causes of hunger. Who is effected by the hunger?
Finally you will compare this information with the Genesis accounts of Joseph
and the famine in his homeland. What did people have to due as a result of
famine in their homeland? How were they helped by others?
Then look at the areas of the world today, that are effected by famine and its
causes. What do these people do? Who is or isn't helping them? How can they
be helped? How can we help them?
