Dear John, Do you count your calories most days? I usually have a general idea of the nutritional value of my food, even if I don't keep an exact count, just to make sure I'm not filling myself with the empty sugar and other calories I want to reach for.Millions of people around the world don't have that luxury. Their focus is on getting enough to eat, not on keeping their calorie count lower than it could be. Camila's family didn't struggle for food until her dad was injured in a car accident. Then they suddenly went from having plenty of good to trying to make sure they could get enough for all 15 members of the extended family.  I want you to do something for me today. Without Save the Children's intervention, Camila and her family would have to survive on fewer than 1000 calories a day. Will you note when you hit 1000 calories today? With your help, we can ensure other families like Camila never have to make one day's worth of food stretch for two or three. Watch Camila tell her story here. Thank you, Cassidy Knize Digital Manager Save the Children US *name changed for protection |
