Last night we went to a packaging location in Eagan MN for Feed My Starving Children and volunteered an hour and a half of our time to make a small difference in our world.
It's an organization that packages food and ships it to starving children in third world countries.
One bag of food has 6 servings. They send in enough food to a given location or orphanage to feed the children there for a full year. It costs 17 cents per meal.
The meals consist of chicken flavoring [which has a perfect supply of minerals and nutrients for malnourished children], dehydrated veggies, soy, and rice. A simple meal, but a meal that saves a childs life.
And theeen, we came home and ate homemade chocolate gelato. A blessing we take for granted. The kids that get these packages of food we made up for them don't get anything more than that. They eat the same meal everyday. If they don't receive this food, they often don't have anything to eat.
