That famous sentence rumbles in my brain: "A Dios pongo por testigo que nunca más volveré a pasar hambre", when Scarlett is at Tara's garden and claims to God that she will never be hungry again. As far as I know, many of my ancestors suffered from hunger... I cannot imagine how horrible that could be. Me and my family have been lucky enough to have plenty of food and comfort in life. I feel really grateful and wish everybody could have 3 meals a day.
So, this is my Christmas wish: No more hunger in the world! Do you want to put your little sand grain too? Then, make a dream come true. Get your own BloggerAid CookBook, enjoy the recipes and give kids a hand ♥. Just a click away from you.
