Memoir Response 3

In the third section of the book, the author talks about his experiences in Niger and Somalia. Thousands of children were starving in Niger. One out of four Nigerians child dies after birth. In Niger, the mothers constantly take their children to a ward care. The ward care only cares for malnutrition children. There were so many people that it is very difficult for one mother to get assistance for her child. In Somalia, warlords fights for control of the country.
After reading the third section, I felt shocked. People are dying in Niger and Somalia. No one is dooing anything much about it. I learned from this book that the less political something is, the less likely it will receive help. Also, there were so many deaths in Niger. Most of them died from starvation and warfare. How terrible!
The UN begs for help and aids from other nations. Most of the workers are volunteers. But it is so obvious. Generally, no one does anything for free. I learned that if you want something to be done, you have to do it yourself.
