Have you ever gone to bed hungry? What do you think about when your stomach groans?
Note: When we are hungry, we think about delicious food. Our parents will make us food so we don’t have to go to bed hungry.

Jamila, an African girl, puts her precious bowl next to her to sleep with every night.
Do you know why?
Note: Jamila hopes that when morning comes, her bowl will be filled with food so that she can be full.

Jamila’s family grows their own food. Because it hasn’t rained for a long time, the farmland dries to a point where it
cracks!Since they can’t grow any food, they have to starve.

When Jamila wakes up and sees that her bowl is empty, she realisesthat she has to starve today again.
What can she do?
Note: When we are hungry, we will find our parents for food but Jamila can only go out and search for food.

Jamila has to go out and search for food with her parents, but all they found was….
Note:In order to find food, Jamila is unable to attend school. The wild berries that she found are unable to provide enough nutrition.

What do you like to eat?What’s the difference between the food you like and the food that Jamila eats?

Jamila is thirsty but there is no water in her bowl. Where can she go to find water to drink?
Note: We can always drink clean water and different drinks but many poor children don’t have a choice and can only drink the dirty water from the river.
![Page 9: Jamila’s Bowl · Have you ever gone to bed hungry? What do you think about when your stomach groans? Note: When we are hungry, we think about delicious food. Our parents will](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071107/5fe23e797ed4ba278943a6a7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is the color of the water that Jamila took so much effort to find? Will you drink it? What do you think will happen to her when she drinks this water?
Note: When children drink yellow and muddy water, it is very easy to get sick. Many children have diarrhea because of this.

A malnourished child’s arm is as small as a five dollar coin.
One day, Jamila got sick. Her mother carried her and walked for two days to get to the clinic. The doctor examined Jamila and measured her nutritional status. What color does the ruler point to?
Note: “Mid-Upper Arm Circumference tape” is used to measure the nutritious state of children five and under. Jamila is malnourished; when her arm is measured, the ruler points to the red.

Note: Malnourished children usually have weak and skinny bodies, big stomachs and are shorter than other same aged children. Their immune system is also weak and get sick easily.
The doctor said Jamila was severely malnourished. What is the difference between her body and yours?
