Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this event. I am very pleased to be here today. I would like to talk about hunger especially here in Finland.

First I would like to mention that because of these cuts in budget the number of unemployees has increased. This has affected in our daily life in extremely way. We are now facing a new serious problem, hunger.

This problem isn’t only touching the ones with low income but more and more of us. In fact relying on food banks might be the only option to many families when there is little money and high prices on food.

Secondly I want to emphasize the meaning of nutrition. A proper nutrition is extremely important especially for the kids. School lunch can’t be the only nourishing meal of the day. A balanced diet helps with learning and growing. If the main reason to hunger is that people can’t afford it, maybe the prices are way too high.

Finally, I would like to ask if there is anything we can do about it. Obviously businesses and government are responsible of decissions about budget and employees, but can we help the ones in need? Thank you for your attention.
