Food


This photo says so much. The family of 9 live in a poor country of Bhutan in Asia and their weekly food bill is $5 US. This is 100 times lower than some European countries. A lot of the world lives of the land with no need for money at all.
I expect few people have met people who live like this, we are so used of money as it is the foundation stone of the western societies.

James this is an amazing post and beautiful picture. Too often I take for granted what I have. I tend to forget that majority of the people in our world are living way below the poverty line and surviving with much less than I have. Thanks for giving me a much needed reality check and for your comment on my blog. Keep blogging, you made a difference for me today!
