A poor family in India has to survive on $1.50 a day . The family can consist of 6 to 8 members.Sometimes they end up eating bread and salt or potatoes.
Whether we live in a land of milk and honey or thorns and thisles let us as God 's people reach out to those in need.

Dear Amrita Pilgrim,
30 millions,- the number is too high, we cannot quit get it.
In Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Greenland,; what we refer to as the Nordic or Scandinavian countries there live less then 30 millions altogether.
We talk about the death of a population bigger than that of 6 countries.
My neighbor counties. I wonder; would the world have been so silent if it was us instead of them.
I feel ashamed.
From Felisol
I feel ashamed too.
Obesity is on the rise in India too.
The rich people in my country are feeding off the helplessness of the poor.
Your sister,
Amrita
