Photo Friday Refugees and Rations Every year is a fundraiser for Syrian Refugees with a Ration Challenge. The challenge is survive a week on the rations that the Syrian Refugees survive on. I done twice even though I had made a few changes because of my own health issues and dietary needs. They get rice - I used quinoa They get white flour - I used teff They get sardines - I used Spam (not exactly healthy but sardines (Ugh!) We both got beans but I used Beano especially after last year's surgery. It brings light that I options that folks in other parts of the world don't. I did manage raise a good amount of $$$$$ and that is ultimately what is most important.     Abracadabra  |

It also is a good reminder of just how good our lives are. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I'm totally with you on the sardines thing. I'd definitely have to make a substitution too! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Very interesting post, Star. It makes me realize how much food we have and how we take it all for granted. Those poor people are thankful to have enough to just survive.

Great pictures! That food looks extremely appetizing.

I agree to Alfie, the foods were so inviting! Good posts. "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

Good to see that people have not forgotten about the atrocities in Syria brought on by Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad. And Putin is doing the same thing in Ukraine. And a couple days ago Lindsay Graham said regarding Ukraine .. "this wouldn't have happened on Trump's watch because Trump would have kicked their ass". THE FACT IS .. when Putin wanted the United States Military out of his way in Syria Trump did as he was told!

Oh give it a little more time, soon we will all be rationing our food and it won't be a choice. With food prices going up along with gas prices, we'll be lucky if we have Spam and some beans to eat.
