World’s Smallest Sushi.
Are we so consumed by all things big that we lose ourselves in them?
What if fulfilment rests on a grain?
What if we can find purpose in small things?

Take rice, the staple food for the world.
A grain so humble and infinitesimal.
Yet, a cradle of life for so many.
Seek out the small.
For within them, we find greatness.

Story reminds us that connectedness to the world does not always mean some have more and some have less, but that we all have stories and that is what brings us together.” – Pam Allyn, the Executive Director of LitLife

The eight goals that make up the MDGs aim to eradicate poverty by 2015 and include targets such as halving the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day.
