\"\"<\/a>In the village where we lived in Liberia, almost everyone had a farm to grow the food that they ate. The staple food was rice, but the people grew a lot of other crops as well.<\/p>\n

When rice is harvested, it has\u00a0chaff that has to be removed before it can be eaten. In the village where we lived, the people would use a mortar and pestle to remove the chaff from the rice. In the photo you can see some young people who are standing beside a mortar<\/span>. The process of growing and processing food is very time consuming out in the bush. Every member of the family was involved in the process of planting and gathering food.<\/p>\n

There were very few schools out in the bush so a lot of kids didn’t have the opportunity to attend school. Even when schools were available, some people couldn’t afford to send their kids to school. Often kids spent their time helping their family to work on the farm. Since food is so abundant in North America, I sometimes forget that many folks around the world are less fortunate.

\nToday, I will make a point to thank the Lord that it was my privilege to attend school. My parents were able to work in order that I was able to attend class and not be worried about daily bread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
