My friend and former USDA NIFA Center for International Programs colleague, Dr. Hiram Larew has  initiated an opportunity for youth to engage, to share their voice with PoetryXHunger.  
 
Poetry X Hunger is rousing young and adult poets to the anti-hunger cause.  With more than 200 powerful poems by poets from all over the world on the website, the initiative is proving that Poets Can Speak Back to Hunger.  All of the material on the website is freely available, and has been used by UNFAO, the Capital Area Food Bank (Washington, DC, USA), End Hunger UK, Oregon State University (USA), the Alliance to End Hunger (USA) and many others. 
 
For more info or to ask questions, contact PoetryXHunger@gmail.com
 
Here is a link for potential users of the poems or ideas and the e-Collection of hunger-focused poems  www.PoetryXHunger.com   This might be an opportunity for youth to share their voice with International Youth Day approaching.
