#### What is Childhood Hunger?
Childhood hunger happens when children don't get the food they need to grow strong and healthy. This can make it hard for them to learn in school, play with their friends, and stay healthy.
Can you imagine going to bed hungry or starting your school day with an empty tummy? π½οΈ

#### Why Does This Happen?
There are a few reasons why childhood hunger happens:
1. **Poverty**: Some families donβt have enough money to buy food. This can happen if parents can't find jobs or earn only a small amount of money. πΈ
2. **Natural Disasters**: Floods, hurricanes, or droughts can destroy crops and homes, making it hard for families to find food.
3. **Food Prices**: Sometimes, food prices go up, and families cannot afford to buy the same amount of groceries. π

#### How Does Hunger Affect Kids?
When kids are hungry, it can hurt them in many ways:
- **Health**: Kids need the right foods to grow healthy and strong. Without them, they can get sick more easily. π€
- **School**: Hungry kids might find it tough to focus in class or finish their homework. Learning becomes really hard.
- **Emotions**: Hunger can make kids feel sad, worried, or even angry. It can change how they behave with friends and family.
