It’s a long,
long way
from the FAO
to the empty stomachs
in Dafur and Somalia
than it is from,
NASA
to the Moon.

The picture speaks for the poem which was so to the point. We are so blesssed to not have to be in this condition. Thank you Lord!

my reaction to this picture and poem is, "If I ever complain about my life again, shoot me for being selfish." We all know the word starvation but few of us take the time to think about it. Thank you for making me think about. The next time I see a homeless person, I'll buy them food.

Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do.Why does not one of the great nations of this earth ever elect a leader who truly cared about his fellow man?Why is power so much more important than compassion?Why is it more important to rule rather than care?Why?why?why?why?Why does reality have to stretch our faith,test our faith and in many destroy their faith.why?

Oh my God, this is an eye opener. I showed this to our youngest son who complains if we don't buy his favorite cereal...how pampered, blinded, and ignorant we truly are to ignore this problem!

Shocking! Devastating! Hungry bellies, it is said, have no ears... and overfed bellies apparently have no hearts.... or minds. I am also at a loss to know how, in this day and age, it is possible for aid not to be delivered, and for public policies to be in place that do not feed the world. When we can send messages in the blink of an eye, unjust practices ought to be able to be spotted and dealt with as effectively and as quickly. Good to see you back with us again, Bhuwan, and have yet to hear how things have been panning out for you and the children. Love and prayers as always. Kate xx

Heartbreaking devastation! Your pictures and words remind us of our guilt and neglect. There's enough wealth and Food in the world to feed EVERYONE! And yet . . . ?

Powerful and heartbreaking. We can each do a part by "adopting" a child through a reputable organization. I help feed and clothe a child in Uganda. Everyone can do that and I don't know why they don't. It takes so little.

Why is it like this? Why does food not get to those who need it most? It is as if it were planned to be this way; that the people who were put in charge were placed there for political not humanitarian reasons. Your words cut through all the red tape and bullsh**, Bhuwan and starkly show the reality that exists for so many in our world.
Take care,
Sherry
