WORDS MATTER


Ayan's home was ravaged by drought. Her family's herd of sheep dwindled from 300 to just 10. They travelled more than 30 miles under the hot sun in search of help.  The journey took a toll on her youngest son, Ismail, who got sick with the flu. Ayan did all she could – but without enough food, clean water, or medicines, Ismail died.  As part of South Sudan is devastated by famine and Nigeria, Somalia, and Yemen are on the brink, more and more families are experiencing the unfathomable pain of a child's death.  -- OXFAM
