#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.
