"At home, when he explained the family’s situation to his 10-year-old daughter, he could tell she was troubled.
"I said, ‘Do you have enough for the lunch?’ and she told me, 'But Daddy, you don’t have any money!''he said. 'I think she feels hunger but she doesn’t tell us. As a father, this is very painful.'”
