Guatemala: Food Shortages Compound Malnutrition Problems

Guatemala has been hit by severe food shortages recently, worsening what were already dangerous levels of malnutrition. Fresh from a visit to the worst affected areas in the east of the country, WFP field monitor Lida Escobar describes what she saw.

 We found 22 children with marasmus and kwashiorkor [two nutrient deficiency diseases] in the hospital.
Kwashiorkor is a type of malnutrition in which the children swell because they retain liquids because of protein deficiency. Their hair can also become discoloured and they develop some skin lesions. Marasmus is another form of malnutrition in which the skin barely covers the bones because of a protein and calories deficiency. The children become very thin, lose hair and can become very irritable.

In Jalapa, the children are not only suffering from malnutrition but they also have to fight other diseases like bronchial pneumonia, gastrointestinal problems and diarrhoea.

Body defences low

They lose their appetites and their bodies don't absorb the nutrients when they eat. As their body defences are low, they get sick very easily.

The crisis has very complex causes. Some children have developed these conditions because of the lack of food, but some because they have related diseases and are weak. The mothers say the children have fever and nausea and that, since they are not hungry, they don't give them anything to eat.

The Chorti community has access to medical services through NGOs contracted to the ministry of health. To reach them, you have to walk for two hours through a mountainous area. In some cases there is help available, but there are problems with education.It's very sad to see the children with marasmus and kwashiorkor. They just stare into space and it makes you wonder what they are looking at. What is their future? What are they thinking about?

Is the name given to both a musical form and a music gerne that originated in African American communities of primarily the "Deep South" of the USA at the end of the 19th century from spirituals, work song, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads? The blues form, ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll is characterized by specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues chord progression is the most common. The blue notes that, for expressive purposes are sung or played flattened or gradually bent (minor 3rd to major 3rd) in relation to the pitch of the major scale, are also an important part of the sound.

The blues form is a cyclic musical form in which a repeating progression of chords mirrors the call and response scheme commonly found in African and African-American music. During the first decades of the 20th century blues music was not clearly defined in terms of a particular chord progression. With the popularity of early performers, such as Bessie Smith, use of the twelve-bar blues spread across the music industry during the 1920s and 30s Other chord progressions, such as 8-bar forms, are still considered blues; examples include "How Long Blues", "Trouble in Mind", and Big Bill Bronze’s "Key to the Highway". There are also 16-bar blues, as in Ray Charles's instrumental "Sweet 16 Bars" and in Herby Hancock's "Watermelon Man". Idiosyncratic numbers of bars are also encountered occasionally, as with the 9-bar progression in "Sitting on Top of the World" by Walter Vinson.

The blues is a genre very happy can be danced as a type of swing, with no fixed patterns of movement and focusing on sensuality, body contact and improvisation. Most blues dance moves are inspired by traditional blues music. Although the dance is usually performed with blues blues themes, it can be done with any music that has a slow rate of 4/4. I like it because it's relaxing and yet very moved.
