While that is very rewarding, sometimes I wonder how big the problem of hunger really is, and is my contribution (in the form of time or money) a drop in the ocean or a teaspoon in a teacup?

Today, we look at data from the UN Refugee Agency   - it has collected stats about refugees to/from various countries for the last 60 years. Here are some interesting graphs about USA.
