having one of the low income people represent a child who was very smart and wanted to go to college
but couldn’t because his family couldn’t afford to put him through college. She then used a person from
the high income group to represent a student who did not have the grades to get into med school but

In the information that Renee gave she mentioned that world hunger is based on world power and
that there is enough food on the universe to feed everyone and that it is all about power. As being a part

The Miskitos, indigenous people of Central America, have been living and farming according to natural
rhythms ever since their state was formed in the early 1600s. But now something is going badly wrong,

of lightning are no longer heralding the rain.
The changing climate is having a devastating effect on the Miskito people, who live in wooden huts and
subsist on crops planted on a few hectares of land and food hunted from the jungle and rivers.
