In Athens they have a hunger problem. An elementary principal never thought something this would happen to them he thought it was 'impossible'. He says he used to seeing kids laugh and play and now he sees them digging through the trash for food. Little young ones asking each other for leftovers. They are so hungry some are in some much pain it makes them bend over in pain of hunger. The principal asked the family's and they were embarrassed and ashamed but they said the truth. The truth was they haven't been able to find jobs in a while like months. They say the Greek economy is down by 20% in the past 5 years. The unemployment rate is more then 27%. 6 in 10 people looking for jobs say they haven't had a job in a year. Their savings is gone and they are fighting for survival on very little food. Also Greek schools don't offer school lunches like we get here. These kids aren't getting the food and nourishment them need to survive. This is very sad.
