When does a hungry child no longer matter?

I ask you to think about these situations and decide at what point do you say that child is no longer important. 

Your child comes home from school and tells you that they missed lunch today and they are starving  Would you feed that child?

  I am certain 100% of parents would feed their own child.

Your niece or nephew comes for a visit and informs you that they were in a hurry to get there and skipped breakfast and they are starving.  Would you feed this child?

Again I'm pretty sure 100% of you would feed that child, its family after all.

Your neighbor asks if you could pick up their child after school because they have to work late.  The child arrives and  he tells you he is starving.  Would you offer the child something to eat?

 I think close to 100% of you would feed that child.

You are walking down the street and notice a mother and her 2 small children sitting in front of a bus stop.  You overhear the younger child tell his mom that he is starving.  The mother explains she will try to find the child something to eat.  What do you do, is this where you stop caring about the child?

 Most of you, I think, would offer to feed that child.

I tell you of a child, 6 yrs old, who is orphaned and is responsible to find his own food.  He hasn't eaten in days.  His belly is distended, his eyes are lifeless.  He  barely has the energy to walk to the river to try to find water.  HE IS STARVING.  Is this where YOU stop caring?  

Children in the US will say they are starving, when we know they literally are just hungry.  Most people in our country have no idea what it means to be starving .  However, this is the reality of thousands, millions of children in Zimbabwe right now.  There is a terrible drought and little food available.  The UN has recently decided to stop sending food aid to millions of people in these drought ridden areas.  They need someone to care enough to help. 

AFCA is sending porridge.  I think to date, 8 or so tons have been sent and distributed.  But they need more.  Will you help a child you don't know, that isn't related, but is literally starving.   Please consider supporting AFCA.  Go to http://www.afcaids.org/ and donate to help a starving child.
