Not only did the food and expenses decrease with each family, but the family sizes increase. Each family has 4 and 5 members until starting with the family in Egypt which has 12 members, followed by 9 members, 13 members and 6 members!!
wow. That's seriously sobering. I am truly thankful!
This was an email trish sent me today, I found it really interesting notice all the bread the Italians eat? The Germans have tons of stuff to drink. All the American food is packaged all fake and shiny no real food to be found. The Cairo family had piles of pita. The Tingo family looks so happy! The Breidjing Camp famiy looks a little less happy and the food supply look like it could barley keep them alive
Yeah the Germans have beer, the Italians have bread, and did you see all that soda in Mexico? There were a lot of fruit and veggies on those tables too. The Americans had like, A tomato and everything else was pre-packaged and greasy. Eeew. That last picture really got to me...they are all so beautiful. Are any of these families affiliated with Compassion?
No, it's just an email I got and forwarded it on. I, like Maria, found it interesting and eye opening.
