You know what happens to a person when they don’t eat for a day? Or two days? Or three? What if that person is a 10-year-old girl? And her 9-year-old sister? And there are five of them in the family! We’ll tell you right now. We always tell you everything.

Mari (10 years old): On the first day, it was still okay. It was just hard to fall asleep. The smell of bread kept haunting me all the time. On the second day, my stomach and head started hurting. I can’t remember which one hurt more. In the evening, I even felt like crying. But I held back my tears so that I wouldn’t show them to Mom. I’m the oldest, after all! If I had cried, everyone else would have cried too. On the third day, everything sounded muffled in my ears, and there were gray spots in my vision.

Nata (12 years old): Sometimes I close my eyes tightly, put my hands together and pray quietly. I imagine I can walk, run, visit my friend by myself and we go to church together! What if … I would paint myself without a wheelchair. Without these wheels! Doctors say that I won’t be able to walk. And what do you think? I believe – God will hear me! Doesn’t he help kind little girls?
