it musnt be that accurate cos according to this it costs

54 billion to feed every child for a year
465 billion to feed and eduacte every child for 5 years

yet
300 billion is given by americans to charities every year, so shouldent we have solved hunger and education by now
or it should pay off the 200 billion debt africans owe western countries.
