50 would be female: 50 would be male
26 would be children
8 would be over 65
60 would be Asian
• 5 would speak English
• 16 would suffer from malnutrition
• 23 would have not a place to shelter them from the wind and the rain
• 13 would not have access to clean, safe drinking water
• 7 would have a college education
• 22 would own or share a computer

mental filter

close phonetic equivalent, “ko-
kou-ko-le,” which can be loosely
translated as “happiness in the
mouth.”
