As a big guy (and an even bigger eater), the challenge of limiting myself to $1.50 of food for one day was that of willpower and resistance. Through this process, I have come to gain a sense of self and a greater appreciation for the 1 billion people who suffer from malnourishment due to poverty….
Day 2 for Baylor

News coverage of the crisis is intermittent and governments around the world have yet to fill the $650 million funding gap needed...
