We all have seen the late night commercials featuring old sitcom stars asking for us to look into our wallets and adopt a child for the month. Hardly any of us ever do it though... in fact, many people crack jokes. Well, try cracking a joke to the little one in the photo above; his tummy isn't bloated from being full; it's bloated from being empty- swollen with gases that cannot escape because he's not ingesting anything to counteract it. While we gorge ourselves for every holiday and get together, there are men, women and yes, children going hungry in the countries of Africa; all over the world in fact. As my first piece says, the struggle to combat it and other issues continues.
