The Bicycle

Two wheels that supports the body to stand on its place. Muddy wheels and dirty steel. Creating friction so he would not fall.
    Yes, it is a mountain bike. Short but long. Weak but fast. It is very rigid. Uneasily broken. 
This bike is for going to the forest or climbing the mountain. The wheels are shaped to a shape that supports the environment.

Somalia’s Hungry People


   Somalia is a country in Africa. It is a dry land with hungry starving people. Farmers there were growing crops for them to eat everyday. But all of their crops failed.
    Because of that, the people there are starving. Some children even died because if starvation and lack of nutrient. Food there is not enough for all the population. Hunger there will get worse and worse. We must help and give a little for them so they could survive
    Population there is rising very fast. Food supply must rise too. It is averaged 6.4 children per woman. Population is rising rapidly.
    People there are suffering for food. They can’t eat even twice a day.
People all over the world should come to Somalia and help them grow crops. So people there would at least eat twice a day for health and energy. Children there could grow healthily and teach them how to be clean. They could grow and create a new generation.
    Some people had gone there to check the kids. Most of them are doctors and professionals from all around the world. Kids there have malnutrition.
“Malnutrition opens up a very big window for infection,” Salim said.
    Salim is a woman who went to Somalia to help and checked the kids one by one so they would be healthy. She was a kind and caring woman. She was surprise that so many children there were malnourished. Not only kids were malnourished, but some of the adults were malnourished too.
    According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, nearly 1 billion people are malnourished in Somalia. The Somalia’s could only pray to God.
“We could only pray to God for our children so they could continue our generation and become a better one,” said a parent.
    Jonathan Foley, a University of Minnesota climatologist, says it's the challenge of the 21st century: "How will we feed 9 billion people without destroying the planet?"
What he said was true. We can’t even feed a small part of the planet, how can we feed all the people in the world that hungry.
    Now we should do an action! That will help all the hungry people in the world. Is it impossible? No. We will start by helping this country in Africa called Somalia. Then the rest of the remaining countries that is hungry. So we could end hunger and stop it forever.
