iWitness "Kalam"

After watching iWitness awhile ago I suddenly realized how important it is to not to waste anything especially your food. iWitness "kalam" or hunger is a real eye opener for me. It shows the real life of a poor family on how they trying to survive each day. I felt pity for those people and I hope our government will do something about it. Imagine a family who only eats rice and salt every day. The head of the family is a fisherman but there are days that he can't catch anything which means no food for his family. Children are luck if they have coffee that they can drink every morning otherwise they will go to school with an empty stomach. I questioned myself how come our government is not doing anything to help these poor people. Well they think they are doing something which is to help the people learn how to do family planning and use contraceptives. They say over population increases poverty but I personally think that over population is not the reason why lot of people are not eating properly. Come to think of it the family that I have mentioned has I beleive four children. Let' say their parents tried family planning so instead of having four children they only have two do you think they will not be on the same situation if they only have to children? They father a fisherman sometimes could not catch any fish or crab at all an aside from being a fisherman they don't have any other source of income. Well they collect firewoods that they can sell for 15 Php per bundle so you can say they earn at least 50 Php a day do you think their situation would be better if they have only two children instead of four? I but not it would still be the same. But what if, their parents we're given a chance to learn something that will help them have a good source of income let's say a skills program or anything. Do you think their situation will be better? Well there is a big chance because they will be given an opportunity to improve their lives and feed their childrenn properly.
