The hunger issues tie more directly to our work at ILAB than one might think -- just this morning, in fact, I met with a team from Hershey about how their food and nutrition work in West Africa relates directly to our objectives of keeping kids healthy and in school instead of engaged in child labor. And the same is true in many other areas.
