When we were children and turned our noses up at the food that had been prepared for us, our parents told us about African children and how hungry they are because there’s not enough food there. They told us to finish our meals because food should not be wasted.
This expression is still used nowadays. However, things have changed in the last 50 years. Poverty is not unknown to the developed western world. Still, due to climate and development, it will probably neverreach equal dimensions to those in Africa.
Pictures of poor African children with their bloated bellies and flies on their faces are still very much present in our minds.
Is that a realistic image of Africa? Or is there another side to this continent?
