YOUNG actress KC Concepcion ( Maria Kristina Cassandra Cuneta Concepcion ) raised hunger-awareness program thru Walk The World With Us, an organization dedicated to feeding millions ”59 million to be more specific” of schoolchildren from around the world.

KC Concepcion woke up earlier than usual last Sunday to attend the Walk the World With Us event that was held from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.

She joined the event to personally raise funds for a global school-feeding program for 10,000 school children in Mindanao.

It was a symbolic walk for KC Concepcion and the other people who joined the walk, including Maricel Laxa, Sen. Kiko Pangilinan and Bubbles Paraiso.

It was a 3.5 km. walk from Serendra in The Fort and back.

Here are some of the hunger facts shared by the organization:

1. Every five seconds a child dies because she or he is hungry.
2. 10.9 million children die in developing countries each year. Malnutrition and hunger-related diseases cause 60 percent of the deaths.
3. 524 million of the world’s hungry live in South Asia - more than the populations of Australia and USA.
4. The number of chronically hungry people worldwide is growing by an average of four million per year.
5. A hungry child can receive a school meal for only 10US cents per day or P5.

Your five pesos can go a long way in helping someone live. By donating five-peso per day or P2,200 a year you can feed a hungry child.

More on KC Concepcion. She has started the shoot for her debut film under Star Cinema last May 28 under the direction of Joyce Bernal. This pairs her with GMA 7 heartthrob Richard Gutierrez.
