If you live in the giver community, you dont
have to worry about lack of food. Food is brought
straight to your door every single day! And the
strongest memory that came was hunger. It came
from many generations back. Centuries back. The
population had gotten so big that hunger was
everywhere. Excruiating hunger and starvation. It
was followed by warfare.It was a concept Jonas
did not know Unconsciously he rubbed his own
abdomen, recalling the pain of its unfulfilled
needs. (pg. 111-112) Jonas had just now learned
about hunger and starvation from memories that
the Giver gave him of the real world.. Before, he
didnt even know what the word meant!
You dont have to worry about that.

• Some officials estimate at least 12 people a day
  die from starvation. Other reports have put the
  estimate at more then 100 deaths a day!!

You dont have to worry about that.
Despite aid effort, Sudan famine squeezing life
from dozens daily   AJIEP, Southern Sudan (CNN)
-- This is the destination for thousands of
starving Sudanese who journey from areas
throughout famine-stricken Bahr al-Ghazal in
search of food. Ajiep is a purgatory -- a
campground for more than 7,000 malnourished
people, naked or clothed in rags, who await food,
or certain death.
You dont have to worry about that.
It is NOT a pretty sight.

Natural Disaster

• Why would you want to live in a community where
  there are devastating hurricanes, earthquakes,
  and wildfires? Natural disasters often lead to
  the deaths and injuries of many people.

Hurricane Katrina was the eleventh named
tropical storm, fourth hurricane, third major
hurricane, and first Category 5 hurricane of the
2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the third
most powerful storm of the season, behind
Hurricane Wilma and Hurricane Rita, and the
sixth-strongest storm ever recorded in the
Atlantic basin. It first made landfall as a
Category 1 hurricane just north of Miami, Florida
on August 25, 2005, then again on August 29
along the Central Gulf Coast near Buras-Triumph,
Louisiana as a Category 4 storm. Its storm surge
soon breached the levee system that protected
New Orleans from Lake Pontchartrain and the
Mississippi River. Most of the city was
subsequently flooded mainly by water from the
lake. Heavy damage was also inflicted onto the
coasts of Mississippi and Alabama, causing
Katrina to become the most destructive and
costliest natural disaster in the history of the
United States. The official death toll now stands
at 1,325, the third highest in US history (behind
the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 and the
Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928). 6,644 others
remain unaccounted for, with 1,300 of them
"feared dead" 1. The damage is estimated to be
from 200 to 300 billion 2, at least double
from previously most expensive Hurricane Andrew
making Katrina the most expensive natural
disaster in U.S. history. Over a million people
were displaced a humanitarian crisis on a scale
unseen in the U.S. since the Great Depression.

Sicknesses

• Everyone knows how it feels to be sick. But, in
  this community, illnesses are not present.

Rea Bkajey of CNN reported Lung cancer is the
leading cause of cancer death among both men and
women, taking 150,000 lives each year. Cancer
experts say 90 percent of lung cancers are
attributable to cigarette smoking. The increase
in female lung cancer mortality, they add, is
evidence of a tobacco use trend that trails 25
years behind that of men.
