  • Three-year old Pajal Deng savors the flavor of wild leaves as he eats with his family in Pamat, a village in South Sudan's Lol State where a persistent drought has destroyed crops, left people hungry, and pushed up incidences of malnutrition.

The vouchers allowed the families to buy the food they needed, while supporting local traders and markets. Yet it wasn't enough, and Pajal's mother goes into the bush to harvest so-called "hunger foods" so her children have something to eat.<br />

  • A family eats dinner in their shelter, part of a group of almost 200 residents of the indigenous village of San Fernando who fled their home on March 14, 2012, shortly after the March 5 assassination of Jimmy Liguyon, the baranguay captain. Mr. Liguyon was killed by a paramilitary squad led by Aldy Salusad, which was angered by Liguyon's refusal to sign papers ceding the community's land to a large mining company. Convinced they were also in danger from Salusad and his military allies, his widow and other community members fled to the provincial capital of Malaybalay, where they have set up temporary shelters on the grass in front of provincial offices. They promise not to leave until there is justice in the killing of Liguyon..

  • In the capital of the Philippines, ten-year old Jobert Rio Florido eats with his grandmother Rodelin Carillo in a mausoleum that is their family home in the Manila North Cemetery. Hundreds of poor families live here, dwelling in and between the tombs and mausoleums of the city's wealthy. They are often discriminated against, and many of their children don't go to school because they're too hungry to study and they're often called "vampires" by their classmates. With support from United Methodist Women, KKFI provides classroom education and meals to kids from the cemetery at a nearby United Methodist Church.
