the photo essay i read was about famine in our world today. in particular this famine took place in Afghanistan. the camp talked about had over 80,000 people who would travel together. the first picture they were fleeing a drought. they do have a few doners who give them aid, housing, food and water but there are not many. and clearly not enought to end the starvation they are suffering. the food they normally have is plain porage and tea. the have cemeteries where they burry their loved ones who die from starvation. they have schools in these camps as well. they dont have books but it is a way to keep the children occupied. in this photo essay i learned that there is much more than famine in the united states. there is famine everywhere, in places we forget about such as Afghanistan. the thing that was most interesting to me was that they do still have schools. they dont just sit around moping about how they dont have food or shelter. thgey make they best of what they have.

This is a sad picture. We are fortunate to have food in our lives, and hopefully we are able to give back to those who are in need. Global Famine should be a big political topic, and should be a priority to everyone.
