this is a picture of Tomas
Seven-year-old Tomas:
Tomas’ mum is a real trooper. She really loves her family. Most of the 일 she collects firewood in the 부시, 부시 대통령은 then walks into town, selling it all for about one dollar.
She buys as much 음식 as she can with that one dollar.
Today Tomas’ mum has spent all 일 out in the 부시, 부시 대통령은 but she still can’t buy enough food. Her one dollar buys only half what it did last year.
Tomas is only seven and doesn’t understand things like "the Global 음식 Crisis". He just continues with school and his chores. Malnourishment is making him tired, though, and he can hardly concentrate in class, let alone help his mum carry water.
But 당신 know what? Thirty percent of the kids here are just like Tomas. That’s thousands of hungry kids.
