Mia Farrow Visits Chad to Promote New Approach to Hunger

Associated Press

   DAKAR, SENEGAL - Groups of women had traveled for days to find care for
   their starving children in Chad, blankly staring in exhaustion and with
   little hope. But other women smiled, relieved to see their children
   "fattened" by a new and simplified initiative for hunger.

   In an interview with The Associated Press, actress Mia Farrow recounted
   the scene during her visit to the Central African nation's Mangalme
   area as an envoy for the International Rescue Committee.

   "Once you see a child dying of hunger in a world where it isn't
   necessary, in a world of abundance ... you have frustration," she said.
   "When I saw this simple solution ... I said yes, there is an answer."
