Now I do realise that there are some desperately poor people in the UK but we had an email from the organisation that we sponsor children through about the increase in costs in the communities our children are in.

The price of bread (for example) has increased 300% and many of the families were already spending 60-70% of their income on food. Price rises of that order mean many can not afford food at all. I don't know many people in the west facing that same degree of increase. I'm sure there are some and you can't make direct comparisons but it does make you think (I hope).
