Beatrice: Hunger bites Kenya

This is Beatrice's Global Food Crisis.

One small girl in Kenya in the early phases of malnutrition.

As food prices double, her family can no longer afford to eat.

*****************

Lot of hunger and having no food is poverty,

Not having spare cloth to take bath is poverty,

Needing a shelter but not having one is poverty,

Child's sick but cannot buy treatment, is poverty,

Fainting child dreaming a mouthful of rice is poverty,

Searching warmth in cold flesh in winter nights, is poverty,

Sitting with umbrella on wetting bed in showering night, is poverty,

Thoughtful mother, two mouthful of rice and three children, is poverty,

An ill, deserted mother selling her child wishing it will survive, is poverty.

A defeated and desponded mother poisoning and killing her child is poverty,

*****************

Dear readers, do something to help them. Don't you feel like crying after watching the video.

Have a heart please.
