That is 100% the case here in Haiti. There are an extreme number of orphanages, many of the children in it placed into the orphanages because the parents could not afford to feed them or get them into school.

Interesting. Haitians love spaghetti noodles with ketchup and cut up hot dogs for breakfast. Took me a while to get used to that. But you got carbs, protein, and sugar. 😂
