Sorry Congo: Foreign aid money used for gala and mural

Don't get me wrong - I love art.

It's one of my biggest passions, but 23 Million Dollars from the United Nations foreign aid fund used for the mural?!?! What an e'fing waste. What a joke.

To use that much money, which - mind you - could have gone to Rwanda, Kenya, Congo, Liberia, Botswana, Afghanistan, to name just a few. There are over 42 countries in the world that, according to the UN World Food Program, have a population where 20% or more of the population is starving. In 2006 alone, that was 87.8 million people.

Here are a few facts from Hunger International:

~923 million people across the world are hungry.

~Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes--one child every five seconds.

The rest here .

I'm so over the UN. It's time they get scrapped and/or overhauled. Lately all I've seen from their leaders is stupidity, and that's unfortunate for those who work for them and really work hard to fight hunger and such.
