This week I chose to explore the country of Brazil. Brazil faces
many different challenges every day. Many of the main reasons for mortality in
Brazil are issues of living in poverty, malnutrition, HIV/AIDS, and lack of
quality education. Food insecurity creates cognitive and psychological challenges
that impact development for a lifetime and is not just limited to childhood. I
would have to say that I feel that children are not able to thrive due to not
having the basic needs met. Many children are hungry and are dehydrated. I couldn’t
imagine being dehydrated due to malnutrition.
