This image comes from Hungry Planet: What the World Eats by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio. The book offers images of families around the world, their week's food supply - and its cost. A photograph like this might be an icon for prayer as we consider fasting and what we might be giving up for Lent.
This photo introduces us to the Aboubakar family of six of Breidjing Camp in Chad. Their week's food expenditure is 685 CFA Francs or $1.23. The family tells us that their favorite food is soup with fresh sheep meat.
We will meet more of these families as we make our way through Lent.
