Across Canada, on this Thanksgiving Weekend, many are gathering around the table in gratitude.
Something that is very disturbing is the report from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization that estimates one in nine — 795 million people of our 7.3 billion — suffered from chronic undernourishment in 2014-2016. (1)
Below are heart-warming videos of some of the courageous souls bringing their innovation and diligence to this drastic situation.

As we gather in celebration,
or just for a regular weekend meal,
enormous blessings
to those working
on changing these statistics.
If you are one of them,
thank you so much.
Inviting
everyone
to join us daily
— 8 minutes at 8PM —
holding the highest vision
for everything to come to balance,
especially hunger,
on Nova Earth.
