Tipene, 14 months, lived in a village in Turkana, Kenya. Team World Vision started to help him in May. Emaciated, he is immortalized with his grandmother in the photograph that served as backdrop to the fundraising organization. He weighed only 5 pounds then. "Before, I earned a dollar by selling the wood, which allowed me to buy enough food for my family, told the widow of 70 years to the humanitarian team. But I can not even pay for corn meal. "With the drought, food prices exploded.
