Hello! I'm Calvin,21 years old, I am from the community that experiencing famine. Everyday there are 6 up to 15 are starving or dying because haven't food to eat. Many people are hopeless to live. Until one day some of the families in our community decided to eat their pets with skin diseases. My family is one of those. They kill and cook our dog with skin disease and they eat it. But I don't want it to eat, because I'm so disgusted and I love my pets and I don't want to eat them. I watch them eating ill animals and all I did is to cry. While I'm crying I saw a child with an age around 3 to 5 years old. His older siblings didn't want to give him a meat of ill animal. So I look at my pocket and I saw a small piece of bread that I suppose to eat for my dinner. I give it to the child and I watch him eating. After a few minutes, all persons who eat ill animals are starting vomiting and one of those is my family. We didn't expecting that will be happen. Were so terrified and because of scared I took the child and I cover his eyes. All I know that they are only vomiting. But while they are vomiting, their skin is started to have a wounds with worms. But I still have no idea what going on. All I know is I'm so scared and I have to out in this place. So I carried the child and I run to go away in this place. TO BE CONTINUE.
