2 1/2 Million Meals on Way to Horn of Africa
Dateline: Larry Bergeron, A Child's Hope international, Cincinnati, OH - September 28, 2011
Thanks everyone for your help in getting KAH food to us for the Horn of Africa. The attached short video gives you an idea of what 2 ½ million meals looks like on pallets – on the way to the goal of 4 ½ meals
After final negotiation with the shippers, the first 2 containers left today; another 2 tomorrow, etc. They are lifted onto rail cars in Cincinnati and then onto ships in NJ
The goal remains 15 rail cars of KAH leaving here as soon as we can.

Misiones de Alcance Mundial (World Missions Outreach), with the aid and help of Partners feeds over 15,000 children of extreme poverty a hot meal every day. There are 100 different feeding programs all over Nicaragua. All of the feeding programs have to meet certain qualifications and are monitored each month. The programs are in Tipitipa, Masaya, Managua, Sandino City, Nueva Vida, Ville Carmen, Masachappa, Leon, San Rafael, and other surrounding areas. Some of the programs are in schools but most are in churches where the Pastors are able to have Bible Classes with the children. At the WMO programs the children get more than food, they get education and contact with people who care about them and make them feel loved.
Our revolutionary food package has been developed by some of the world's leading food scientists at Cargill, Pillsbury, General Mills and ADM. This one package provides six nutritionally-complete servings for only 25 cents per serving.
