I colori della povertà | The colors of the poverty



PLUMPY'NUT is the magical product!


Niamey-Niger-May 2007.


The terrible famine which killed
thousands of children in the worst Niger's severe nutrition crisis in
his history, seems to be lessening its grip!

The sight of undernourished children is
less common than it was, but chronic malnutrition still affect more
than 50 percent of them.


Even when the harvests are good, still
the 10 percent of them suffer acute malnutrition!

A large scale effort has been launched
to face this walking- ghost, and one of the tools used to stop this

massacre, is the therapeutic food known
as Plumpy'nut. Food which helped to save thousands of lives during
the crisis in 2005.


Like many therapeutic health centres
across Niger, the UNICEF gives Plumpy'nut to severely malnourished
children.


The high-protein, high-energy,
peanut-based paste, typically comes in foil wrappers, or small
plastic tubs, who are practical for children, who can easily eat
them.


People call it:” the magical
product!”

says the Regional humanitarian Advisor
Jan Eijkenaar of the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid
Department ( ECHO ).


Niger is one of the poorest countries
in the world!


Neptune in Aquarius, is high in the
sky, in these years, and this planetary position gives a large vision
to humanitarian actions, opening the way to new solutions.


The world is one world, and its
sufferings are one; humanity is in truth a unity, but many are still
unaware of this, and the events are there to awaken the
consciousness of the many.


A great human family will emerge in the
future, there is no room , and time, for “neutral people”.

astroleni, this is great. Some new contributors have added their own personal Plumpy'Nut photos (thanks!): now you can click the "moderate" tab on your own story and select which photo is the leading image. It's multi-media-rriffic. Good stuff.
