...families paid between $2,800 and $8,400 as part of the process of volunteering - that is, money to the NGO above whatever amount caring for the children will cost. Meanwhile, Chadian authorities say the Darfur children - taken from refugee centers administered by the NGO - showed no signs of hunger or illness that would make their departure urgent. Finally, with neither the nationality nor even exact identity of most children fully established, officials in Chad and France wonder how Zoe's Ark leaders could possibly know if the parents are indeed dead...
...calls for much-needed action from unproductive leaders. Here, the influence of Juanes’s Latin American background becomes evident. The timely lyrics of “Bandera de Manos” prove a perfect example: “Life gives us such ironies / while thousands die of hunger / leaders only stockpile weapons.” In “Minas Piedras” Juanes sings to the victims of mine fields (a cause he’s supported in the past) about their undying hope: “They don’t deserve to be forgotten...

Erysichthon doesn’t think it’s so funny, of course, especially not the part where he eats his own foot...
...hospital in Reggio Emilia, where he could starve more systematically. The daily ration was a piece of bread and some chicory coffee, and to keep the children from running off, "they took all of our clothes away." He lay on a bed with no sheets, no blankets, feverish with hunger. It was there he learned the art of patient plotting as he imagined all the ways he might escape and the obstacles he'd face...
