1.46

A couple of days ago I heard fragments of one of the 18 CNN-Heroes stories. This one was featuring Steve Peifer, a US American that is providing food to schools in Kenya. He mentioned that when he visited one school he saw kids lying on the dirt floor. He asked the teacher why this was so, and heard that they ate at the beginning of the week, then they would sit straight, but as days go by they are weaker. He decided to put his energy into providing food for these kids, and since has developed an organization that provides lunches for 28 schools in Kenya and more recently also started providing computers for kids to learn. US$ 1.46 is what it costs to feed one child a whole month. 1.46 1.46 1.46 1.46 1.46 I went to sleep with that number bouncing in my head - and in my stomach. 1.46
