When I was a child I have experienced stress from being hungry. My mom and dad use to go to work and left my sisters and I at home with my older brother to care for us, but he use to always leave the house and go with his friends so that left us with no one to care for us. It were times when I was so hungry I couldn't get out of bed and I didn't know how to cook so I was lost but how I coped with it was I would eat some crackers and cheese. When I was hungry I didn't feel like going play with friends or anything. I used to fix my sisters a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) "28% of all child mortality in Ethiopia is associated with under nutrition" (WHO, 2013). In Ethiopia children are dying everyday from starvation and here in America I know I now waste a lot of food. There are people trying to help but the need for food is almost too much to supply.
