Today I am honored to be collaborating with a group of women bloggers on behalf of ONE, a non-partisan, grassroots advocacy organization that fights extreme poverty and preventable diseases, to increase awareness about world hunger.
ONE asks:
"How can it be that 40% of Africa's children are so chronically malnourished by the age of five that they will never fully thrive, physically recover or mentally develop - and this has not improved in two decades, despite so much other development progress?
I am reblogging an excellent post on the benefits of sweet potatoes. Thank you, ThirdEyeMom, for this post. We started with one sweet potato, smuggled into Nicaragua by a close friend. Now, I think we could furnish the entire island with our sweet potatoes.
After 2 weeks on the island, with 3 more to go, I would LOVE a couple of your sweet potatoes!!
We haven’t found much variety in the produce here, despite checking all the little produce places we see on our way back and forth to town. It’s really the greens we’ve been missing most, although I learned at the Cornerhouse that there is a supplier on the other side of the island.
sweet potatoe pie here I come
It’s just hard to believe that there weren’t any camotes in Nicaragua until that sweet ‘tater was smuggled in.
