Now is the Time for Running

 I am reading Now is the time for running which is about a boy named Deo and his brother innocent. Their village is in Gutu Zimbabwe where they had barely had any food and was extremely poor. However, this situation is still occurring sadly. Nearly everyone is unemployed and their economic situation is plummeting. I couldn't imagine being in Deo and his brother’s shoes I am not sure exactly how I would handle that situation but I probably would handle it as well as Deo. Even now it must be extremely hard to live in such conditions. How would you deal with living in such a harsh and poor way?
