this is a picture of Tomas
Seven-year-old Tomas:
Tomas’ mum is a real trooper. She really loves her family. Most of the দিন she collects firewood in the গুল্ম then walks into town, selling it all for about one dollar.
She buys as much খাবার as she can with that one dollar.
Today Tomas’ mum has spent all দিন out in the গুল্ম 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 খাবার 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 আপনি know what? Thirty percent of the kids here are just like Tomas. That’s thousands of hungry kids.
