PROFILE AGE 27 HEIGHT 4'11" WEIGHT 98 pounds Over 70 percent of Saada’s husband’s income as a driver for a local bank executive goes toward the food that she spends most of the day preparing in their apartment in a large suburb of Yemen’s capital city Sanaa. The homemade fl at breads, salads, and slowly cooked stews diff er from the farm fare of Saada’s childhood village home, which revolved around grain porridge and fresh, seasonal vegetables. She does not socialize outside of her family, most of which she left behind for a better life in the city. Like the majority of the women in Yemen, Saada is illiterate.

What if someone asked you to show all the food your family eats in one week? Move beyond statistics by looking at the foods people eat in different cultures. Think critically about the opportunities and choices that define people’s lives.

What if someone asked you to take all your worldly possessions and stack them in front of your house? Use imagery from around the world to help students reflect on their place in our global community.
