Somalia is a country filled with poor people. Food is very scarce there, and everyone there is searching for food and also hoping that they will still survive longer. A lot of people lost hope and they said that hunger crushed their dreams in the future. Most people left their children alone because they could not afford to buy food for them to eat anymore. So, the children have to search for their own food, and it is harder to search it now because it is currently summer. Trees died, and everything looked sad and dry.
Alex is a nine-year-old Somalian. He is so small and skinny because he only eats once in every few days. He is also one of the children who suffers from malnutrition. He only has a twelve-year-old sister named Margaret. She is a girl with a black hair, she is not very tall. Both of them were left by their parents a few months ago because they could not afford enough money to feed them.
It was a Friday, when they and their parents went to somewhere dark. Their parents decided to leave their kids, Margaret and Alex. They have planned it for a few weeks, they could not bare it any longer. They lied to Margaret and Alex by telling them to stay where they were and they will find food for them. Margaret and Alex agreed, and they stayed, waiting for their parents to come back to them while bringing food. But, that did not happen. It did not happen the way they thought it would be. They thought that their parents were just late, so they waited for a long time, until they got asleep. When they woke up, they realized that their parents left them all alone. They cried and tried not to remember that horrible incident. Margaret became braver than before, she started to hunt for food ever since. Their lives are very horrible and miserable. They do not even have any shelter to sleep in, they go to other different places everyday.
Mr. Newton is the head of the "Feeding The Poor" organization. He is a tall, 30-year-old American, who is very rich, but he is a kind and generous man with a heart of gold. He does not boast, instead, he helps poor and hungry people by visiting their country to help them. He is a Christian, he believes that he was sent into this world to help other people and change the world into a better place for living. Instead of being a missionary or a pastor, he decided to stop living life while partying, and started to build an organization which helps people from other countries.
"Feeding The Poor" is an American organization made by Mr. Newton in 1999. Its main goal is to educate poor people so they will know how to grow their own food and build their own shelter. This organization is currently doing a research, and found out that Somalia is the country with the worst hunger and malnutrition problem. Mr. Newton directly decided to go there as quick as possible with his team so that Somalians can still survive before the time comes for them to die. They decided that they will stay there for a year.
"We should stay there for a year to teach the Somalians. We should also build a few schools and hospitals there. Everything should be free. I really do not care about the money. I care about their lives," Mr. Newton said.
"What should we do now?" one of the team members asked.
"We should provide helicopters for a faster ride there. The people are in big danger, if we are too late, they will die," Mr. Newton replied.
Mr. Newton asked his team members to invite doctors, architects, gardeners and teachers, and to provide a few helicopters, enough food for them to eat for some years. Everything is already prepared well. They all went with the helicopters to Somalia. They hoped that they will be in time to save and rescue them from the edge of their deaths.When they reached Somalia, they decided to divide themselves into teams to help them to track the location of the hungry and poor people faster. After 45 minutes, they found the locations of the hungry Somalians, and they started to help them. Some of the team members helped the doctors to check all of the Somalians' health. Some members also helped the architects to build schools and hospitals. The rest of the members distributed the food that they need. It will be the teachers' job to teach them properly, gardeners' job to search the area good enough for plantation and teach them how to grow plants and crops, and the doctors' job to make sure that they are healthy.
Well, unfortunately, not all Somalians survived. Some of them were dead even before the team arrived. But, Alex and Margaret survived and were there too. They were checked and fed by the team members. Mr. Newton found them interesting. So, he decided to interview them.
"What are your names?"
"My name is Margaret, and this is my younger brother, Alex," Margaret replied.
"Ah, great names! How do you feel right now?"
"I felt really happy that we got food to eat. We are very grateful," Alex replied happily.
"Yes, we have a difficulty in finding food, it is very elusive here. We would like to thank you and your team for doing this," Margaret said.
"It is a pleasure to help you, kids."
"If you did not come, we would have been dead by now. So, thank you so much. You truly are a hero to all of us," Margaret said.
A year has passed. Since then, Somalia becomes a better place for living. People now can grow plants and crops, they also have their own houses. Every child is sent to school, most of them are very smart. Everybody is happy. But, it is time for Mr. Newton and his team to leave.
"I'm really going to miss this place. I still remembered a year ago, when Somalia wasn't a good place to live. But now, it is a very good place to live in. Everybody became happier than before. Time flies so fast," Mr. Newton said.
He and his time bid farewell, and went home with their helicopters. They felt happy that they saved and rescued the hungry Somalians. Their mission is completed.
"Do you have any food?" Alex asked.
"I have not found any. It is extremely scarce here," Margaret replied, while searching and looking for food to eat.
"I am very hungry," Alex said sadly. He has not eaten food for 3 days, he usually eats every 2 days. This proves that food is getting scarcer and scarcer everyday.
"Me too, but what can we do now? We have been searching food for a few days."
"I used to dream to be a successful person. But it was ruined by hunger. I start to give up, knowing that it will never happen."
"Do not easily give up, Alex. I know that this is hard to happen because food is elusive here. But maybe, just maybe, there will be a miracle. Stop believing the negative things and start to believe the positive ones."
"You are right, but..."
"No buts, we just need to believe and pray to God."
