When reading/listening to news in Europe it's "not reality" in a sense that we never get emotionally involved or we simply fail to grasp its real people who are involved.
This struck me here today in the ministry.
They are working SO hard in the fields and its a constant manual uphill struggle in the blasting heat. Especially nowadayd with the "El Nino" effect as they call it here (global warming).
Walking past the fields we meet people who work hard all day ... every day... and its just producing scorched yellow fields!!!!!
When speaking to them it stabs my heart to understand their daily struggle.
Whatever little they manage to get growing is hardly nothing and it's also very bad quality, not good enough to sell, and not adequate to feed the family.
They are literally living on the breadline and can't afford even the basics. .. and the last couple of years made it even WORSE for them.
How bad can it get?
If nothing changes there will be no people left in the country side here in 10-20 years time.
This will create a chain reaction and people in the cities will also get less to eat since none is left producing the food they need :(
They cannot afford to import food in this country, they are already struggling with current prices
