The Last Hunger Season follows a group of smallholder farmers as they learn new farming techniques in the hopes of going from near starvation to actually generating an income and being able to regularly send their kids to school. While it reads at times as a bit too much of a sales pitch for one organization (which is doing great work), I definitely feel I got a good feel for these people‘s lives. Frankly, I‘m humbled.

#augustphotochallenge photo 5. Location: Library. Collection: older acquisitions, work-related books, yearbooks, books I'll never get rid of. I created this room as a reading sanctuary and it's my favorite room in the house. I have other small stacks scattered about, but I think you get the extent of my problem. 😬😳
