I don't know if any of you watched 60 Minutes today, but Anderson Cooper did a segment on malnutrition. Kyle, Gavin and I were eating dinner while we watched this awful reality, feeling a little guilty and spoiled. We learned that 20 million children are suffering from severe malnutrition, and one child every 6 seconds dies from malnutrition. What a stupid, preventable death. We were so affected by this that we decided to donate. I attached the video from 60 Minutes watch the video about the 'miracle food' and then go to the Doctors Without Borders website, and on there you can donate. We are just starting out small. We decided to sponsor 2 children at $7.50/month per child which will provide this child with 2 nutritious meals a day (equivalent to 25 cents per day), and $15/month will provide 40 refugees with fresh water. I think we live in country that is so isolated from reality. We stuff our faces every meal, take warm baths, go to the doctor, drive nice cars, and go to bed in a nice comfortable home every night. We are living a perfect life while poor women, men and children are starving. How is that fair? I know many of you can spare a few dollars and save a child's life. Check out this video and see for yourself.
