I decided to continue this post on Larry's trip to Africa this past January. Although we love see the photos of the faces and places he visited, the purpose of the trip was to determine how to feed these little children a healthier meal so that they would have better chance in life. They currently eat a meal that consists of a corn mush and one cup of water that may or may not be clean!! There are no bodies of water nearby and water is carried in jugs, often for a couple of miles from it's source. The team went to see if they could provide a prepackaged meal that was high in nutrition thru Kids Against Hunger. This organization is located in Mo. and provides food both locally and abroad. The mixture was prepared over an open fire and served to the children while they were there and much enjoyed!! It consists of rice, soy protein, dried vegies and some dried seasonings along with vitamins. Yummy!!! We would also like to have wells put in at each of these carepoints. Many churchs have committed to supplying these needs. PTL..Larry and I have decided that we are ready to begin a new journey that would help provide food, water and other necessities to children around the world. The ministry called The Coalition of Care will focus on adoption, foster care, humanitarian aid and orphan care. We are still in the beginning steps so please pray for us as we trust God to lead us down this path.
