Eating termites to survive-Poverty in Zimbabwe

[Kofi]

Poverty in Zimbabwe is so alarming that the poor Zimbabweans now eat termites to survive. Little children are suffering from hunger and most children lost their lives before their fifth birthday because they get no food to eat. Most children are dropping out of school because they cannot concentrate in class. They cannot concentrate because they are hungry. Those in the villages now depend on the ant hills (termitariums) for survival. You will see little children putting sticks into ant hills and putting the termites into bowls for dinner. Life is beautiful and these little children love life. They do not want to die before their fifth birthdays and since there is no food to eat, they must eat termites to survive. President Robert Mugabe is a tyrant and he doesn't care what happens to the people of Zimbabwe. He kills anyone who complains and everybody is afraid to talk. People die in their numbers everyday but who is to complain?

What do you think? is this life beautiful? what can you do to help Zimbabwe?

WEll they had inflation of over 1million percent, They could only take out a certain amount of money out of the bank once a day. Their local newspaper cost them so much they they would have to take money out of the bank 4 days straight just to buy it.

Look at the diversity in nature and standard of living. people in zimbabwe are eating termites to survive as they have no food to eat and on the other hand people in america pay to get rid of termites!!
people this is a serious matter of concern and we need to do what we can, spreading this news is one of them. Someone who has access to these people or who has the power to help might do for the cause
god help them!!!

The situation in Zimbabwe is very complex. but the root of it is in politics. there is a government which has totally failed to understand and control the situation. Printing 1million dollar note is not the solution. they have to take foreign aid and have to do whatever it takes to take help. The world should be kind to Zimbabwean people so that political situation don't cause general people suffering.
