A Startling Reality

If you have ever wondered just how much malnutrition affects child development, this is something you should see.

BOTH children in this photo are 12 years old.  The little boy on the left is in my class, and he has struggled with malnutrition all his life.  The boy on the right is American and has had access to food and health care all his life.


Malnutrition affects my students in so many ways, and everyday we fight to overcome obstacles together.
