Description
What do you say to a hungry world?
Meet Jobeda-who has seen her husband and five children die of starvation and is now a refugee in Bangladesh.
Meet Gokal Christie in India who is so weak from starvation he has barely enough strength to work around the house.
Meet Kayin who harvests barely enough rice from his 1/5 acre in Java to feed his family and who has no money to buy fertilizer to increase his production.
Theirs and others' stories in What Do You Say to a Hungry World? help to dispel some of the myths that surround the topic of hunger. Facts, figures and analysis dispel other myths. The combination compels response and action, and the book concludes with suggestions on how to start.
"I recommend this book to anyone wishing to get behind the facts to the human dimension involved. This is one of the best books available on the subject."
