Food insecurity has worsened amid the conflict, leaving hundreds of thousands of children vulnerable to severe acute malnutrition. A portent of the condition’s life-threatening dangers lurks as a child’s mid-upper-arm circumference, an indicator of his nutritional state, measures in the red.

12 June 2018, Aldea San Isidro, Guatemala - Rolando Roblero (right), 42, is an active member of ASADIT. He has 4 children and is a native of San Isidro, Tejutla, San Marcos.
He has seen that his economy has grown since he has quadrupled the weekly income since they have as clients the schools. *** FAO project: Strengthening the School Feeding Program in the framework of the Hunger-Free Latin America and the Caribbean Initiative 2025. The efforts of the Parliamentary Front against Hunger, in close collaboration with FAO expertise, to create discussion and policy momentum led to the approval of the School-feeding Law. The Sustainable Healthy School model, based on the FAO-Brazil Regional Cooperation Programme and South-South Cooperation, has increased from five pilot schools to over 400 nationwide, and will extend to 7,000 in its next phase. Key features of the initiative include healthy and culturally sensitive menus, engaged parents and community leaders, improved dining and kitchen infrastructure, pedagogic school gardens, inter-sectorial cooperation, and public purchases from family farming.
Background: Guatemala's chronic child malnutrition rates hover at 46.5 percent for children under 5 years of age (the highest rate in the region and the fifth highest worldwide). In rural and predominantly indigenous communities, chronic child malnutrition is especially high - 53 and 58 percent respectively.
More than an investment in increased food and nutrition security for elementary-level school children, the school-feeding law, approved in September 2017, represents a long-term social protection commitment by the Guatemalan government to this otherwise vulnerable age group. More nutritious and sufficient school meals are helping keep food-insecure children in school and ensure their proper cognitive and physical development, with the healthy school menus using locally-sourced fresh ingredients from family farming. Moreover, the local linkages between schools and family farmers allow for school menus that are conscious of cultural norms and regional dietary preferences. The success of the initiative has resulted in the scaling up the sustainable school model from five pilot schools in San Marcos and another five in Huehuetenango (Western Guatemala) in 2014 to 420 schools in the San Marcos, Huehuetenango, and Chiquimula (Eastern Guatemala) departments in 2017, with complementary efforts to integrate fish foods into school menus currently underway.

The Psalms
37
The Insecurity of the Wicked
A Psalm of David.
1933. Our country was recovering from a depression and was declared bankrupt. Why were the American people never told about this? - Public policy and National Security overruled the public right to know. Read the following Congressional quote:
"My investigation convinced me that during the last quarter of a century the average production of gold has been falling off considerably. The gold mines of the world are practically exhausted. There is only about $11,000,000,000 in gold in the world, with the United States owning a little more than four billions. We have more than $100,000,000,000 in debts payable in gold of the present weight and fineness. . . As a practical proposition these contracts cannot be collected in gold for the obvious reason that the gold supply of the entire world is not sufficient to make payment."
-- Congressional Record, Congressman Dies, March 15, 1933.
Before 1933 all contracts with the government were payable in gold. Now I ask you, who in their right mind would enter into contracts totaling One Hundred billion dollars in gold, when there was only eleven billion in gold in the whole world, and we had about four billion? To keep from being hung by the American public they obeyed the bankers demands and turned over our country to them. They never came out and said we were in bankruptcy but, the fact remains, we are. In 1933 the gold of the whole country had to be turned in to the bankers, and all government contracts in gold were canceled. This is bankruptcy.
"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. government. We are setting forth hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a coroner's report that will lead to our demise."
"It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congressional session, June 5, 1933 - Joint Resolution To Suspend the Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal Government exists today in name only."
"The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States."
-- Congressman Traficant on the House floor, March 17, 1993 (The Bankruptcy of The United States, United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993, Vol. 33, page H-1303).
The wealth of the nation including our land was turned over to the bankers. In return, the nations 100 billion dollar debt was forgiven. I have two papers that have circulated the country on this subject. Remember Jesus said "money is the root of all evil" The Congress of 1933 sold every American into slavery to protect their asses. Read the following Congressional quotes:
"I want to show you where the people are being imposed upon by reason of the delegation of this tremendous power. I invite your attention to the fact that section 16 of the Federal Reserve Act provides that whenever the Government of the United States issues and delivers money, Federal Reserve notes, which are based on the credit of the Nation--they represent a mortgage upon your home and my home, and upon all the property of all the people of the Nation--to the Federal Reserve agent, an interest charge shall be collected for the Government."
-- Congressional Record, Congressman Patman, March 13, 1933.
"That is the equity of what we are about to do. Yes; you are going to close us down. Yes; you have already closed us down, and have been doing it long before this year. Our President says that for 3 years we have been on the way to bankruptcy. We have been on the way to bankruptcy longer than 3 years. We have been on the way to bankruptcy ever since we began to allow the financial mastery of this country gradually to get into the hands of a little clique that has held it right up until they would send us to the grave."
-- Congressional Record, Congressman Long, March 11, 1933.
What did Roosevelt do? Sealed our fate and our childrens fate, but worst of all, he declared War on the American People. Remember the War Powers Act, the Trading with the enemy Act? He declared emergency powers with his authority being the War Powers Act, the Trading with the enemy Act. The problem is he redefined who the enemy was, read the following (remembering that the Social Security Number is a license to work):
The declared National Emergency of March 9, 1933 amended the War Powers Act to include the American People as enemies:
"In Title 1, Section 1 it says: The actions, regulations, rules, licenses, orders and proclamations heretofore or hereafter taken, promulgated, made, or issued by the President of the United States or the Secretary of the Treasury since March 4, 1933, pursuant to the authority conferred by subdivision (b) of section 5 of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended, are hereby approved and confirmed."
"Section 2. Subdivision (b) of section 5 of the Act of October 6, 1917, (40 Stat. L. 411), as amended, is hereby amended to read as follows: emergency declared by the President, the President may, through any agency that he may designate, or otherwise, investigate, regulate, or prohibit, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, by means of licenses or otherwise, any transactions in foreign exchange, transfers of credit between or payments by banking institutions as defined by the President, and export, hoarding, melting, or earmarking of gold or silver coin or bullion or currency, BY ANY PERSON WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY PLACE SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF."
Here is the legal phrase subject to the jurisdiction thereof, but at law this refers to alien enemy and also applies to Fourteenth Amendment citizens:
"As these words are used in the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution, providing for the citizenship of all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the purpose would appear to have been to exclude by the fewest words (besides children of members of the Indian tribes, standing in a peculiar relation to the National Government, unknown to the common Law), the two classes of cases, children born of Alien Enemies, in hostile occupation, and children of diplomatic representatives of a foreign state, both of which, by the law of England and by our own law, from the time of the first settlement of the English colonies in America, had been recognized exceptions to the fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the country."
-- United States v Wong Kim Ark, 169 US 649, 682, 42 L Ed 890, 902, 18 S Ct 456. Ballentine's Law Dictionary.
Congressman Beck had this to say about the War Powers Act:
"I think of all the damnable heresies that have ever been suggested in connection with the Constitution, the doctrine of emergency is the worst. It means that when Congress declares an emergency there is no Constitution. This means its death....But the Constitution of the United States, as a restraining influence in keeping the federal government within the carefully prescribed channels of power, is moribund, if not dead. We are witnessing its death-agonies, for when this bill becomes a law, if unhappily it becomes law, there is no longer any workable Constitution to keep the Congress within the limits of its constitutional powers."
-- Congressman James Beck in Congressional Record 1933.

The following are excerpts from the Senate Report, 93rd Congress, November 19, 1973, Special Committee On The Termination Of The National Emergency United States Senate. They were going to terminate all emergency powers, but they found out they did not have the power to do this so guess which one stayed in, the Emergency Act of 1933, the Trading with the Enemy Act October 6, 1917 as amended in March 9, 1933.
"Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency....Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens."
"A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 (now 63) years, freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency....from, at least, the Civil War in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency."
-- Senate Report, 93rd Congress, November 19, 1973
You may be asking yourself is this the law, and if so where is it, read the following: In Title 12 U.S.C, in section 95b you'll find the following codification of the Emergency War Powers:
"The actions, regulations, rules, licenses, orders and proclamations heretofore or hereafter taken, promulgated, made, or issued by the President of the United States or the Secretary of the Treasury since March 4, 1933, pursuant to the authority conferred by subsection (b) of section 5 of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended (12 U.S.C., 95a), are hereby approved and confirmed."
-- (March 9, 1933, c. 1, Title 1, 1, 48 Stat. 1)

Why should the world know my insecurities? Why should the world know my secrets? Why? Why is that that my life can't be private? Why is it that people judge with out hearing the other side of the story? Why?
This is no cry for help; Plea for attention.
I'm officially better. I am officially okay.
To me; This is a way of telling my side of the story; This is a way I can finally bring my suffering to an end.
Do no question me. Do no judge me. Do not hate me. Do not.
I just opened up to you; Please treat that as something sacred. Very rarely do any of us open up to anyone else. ♥
Thank you for listening.
Pay attention to your surroundings. Help others. Quit judging. Spread The Love And Not The Hate!
"It's time for us to show the world that it is okay to show your insecurities. This is for the people who don't flaunt something that is wrong with them.
Why Should The World Know? requires that you wear a statement saying "why should the world know" and then something that should be said, something that you want out, and you want help overcoming it. This isn't for attention, it's to help overcome something that you are not happy with." - Serenityfox12

I'm really insecure about my feet and legs. After I had my daughter I got stretch marks all the way down to my knees, no joke they are aweful. And I always feel like I have big feet or dry feet, or long toes, or something. lol So I painted my daughter and my toes and thought it was a good day to be brave and show my legs :)
