The Girl Who Starved To Death
By Dylan, Molly, Maddy and Mickayla
In the village of Karimati Basti, where hunger and poverty are extremely high, in fact there have been 4 awareness documentaries made involving this village by Warles Surin. But as you can see in the picture above, a young girl died of starvation. She was only 11 years old that died september 17, 2017. The story is only making headlines now as it was only a rumour outside of the village till now and people tried to hide the truth saying it was just illness or blame the parents for neglecting their child, but the truth is it was starvation, plain and simple.This is terrible news especially since according to statistics we produce enough food to feed everyone in the world but we decide to waste a full ⅔ of it! We must start to be more thoughtful about what we throw away knowing if we could learn to spare and share, hunger would not be a problem anymore.
