Dallas, Texas -- Teens With A View, a program of TWAV Entertainment, today announced the official release of a remix video and audio titled “Not Afraid” in an effort to bring awareness to their STOP WORLD HUNGER NOW campaign. The video features a group of Dallas area teens who will use the message and the proceeds of the audio to stop hunger.
According to official information from Worldhunger.com, no one really knows how many people are malnourished. The statistic most frequently cited is that of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, which measures 'under nutrition'.
The most recent estimate, released last year, says that 1.02 billion people are undernourished. Children are the most visible victims of this ‘undernutrition’. One in five children in Texas live in poverty. 377,600 (13%) percent of the population lives below the poverty line. And, more than 164,000 (43%) percent of those living in poverty are children under age 18.
TWAV Entertainment will not only use the video, found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1nANi44haQ, but will also dedicate a segment of their popular weekly web-based program, Teens With A View to bring awareness and to ignite a youth movement to get involved with stamping out hunger. “It is amazing how me and so many of my friends take eating anytime we want for granted,” said LaVoyce, the 15-year old creator and one host of the show. After doing the research and talking to some of my friends, we decided to rally youth together to STOP WORLD HUNGER NOW,” said LaVoyce.
The goal of the campaign is to activate teens at home and from across the world to understand the issues of hunger, why it exists and who is impacted and how we can help. Secondly TWAV will participate in events via school rallies, Teen events etc., to perform Not Afraid and speak on world hunger. We will challenge youth to come together to make a pledge to donate to North Texas Food bank online in an effort to stop world hunger.
