#UULent - #hunger

For today's word I had no option but to post this photo. It was taken in Ng'ombe, a small township of Lusaka, Zambia. Ng'ombe was the community FP Lexington was paired with through Communities Without Borders (CBWB). Two years earlier two children in the community died from starvation.

That event was the trigger which made CWB rethink it's focus on education and realize that without food in their bellies these kids would learn nothing. So a feeding program was instituted as part of the support for the Ng'ombe community.

The children who died were probably in the cohort of kids shown in this photo. These were no longer starving to death but they knew hunger every day.

#UULent - #vulnerability

Had never heard the term Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) before Bethany and I travelled with CWB to Zambia in 2005, but ever since then vulnerable has always conjured up a very specific feeling.

These two where inseperable whenever we visited the Garden compound and I was never sure if they where Double Orphans meaning both parents were dead, Single Orphans meaning one parent had not yet succumbed to AIDS, or merely Vulnerable which meant they could fall into on of the other categories at any moment.
