$2 a day challenge... Feeding your family on $2 or less to experience just a tiny, tiny taste of what the other 1/2 of the world LIVES on each and every day...
Here's dinner from tonight:
2 packages of Top Ramen ($0.32) and 1/2 of a carrot ($0.08) split 4 ways, and clean, fresh, healthy water to drink. We could only do 1/2 of a carrot, because the full carrot pushed us over the $2 for today.
After the bike ride, my son came home and promptly pulled out the Top Ramen and set it on the counter.
It was 3:40pm... but he was ready for dinner, and thought setting it on the counter would make dinner come sooner.

We are all going to bed hungry tonight, but filled with the knowledge that for us... this was only a one day challenge. We don't have to eat this way tomorrow. AND really... what we have eaten today is MORE than 1/2 of the world's population is able to eat each day. How many families will go to bed hungry each night, all night long?
What did you have for dinner tonight?
