Despite her young age, Felistas Koki speaks with authority and courage drawn from experience earned through frequent encounters with food shortages in her area.
"A hungry child cannot concentrate in school and many often drop out of school in hopes that when they stay at home, probably their parents will get some food to feed them, while some girls have been married off in exchange for food, this leads to teen pregnancies further escalating the number of children undernourished," said Koki, as she boldly read a statement on behalf of her fellow children.
