9. Reflections:
While doing this project, we realised that we should not waste
food and we are able to feel the others who do not have
sufficient food.
We also learn how to cherish what we have and not taking
things for granted.
Africa is not only the continent in the world that experience
food shortage. Even countries like USA also experience food
shortage. For example, In Chicago,USA.
