Feed the starving Children

For a $1.05, you can feed 6 hungry people.
My small group from church decided to take an evening and volunteer at Feed My Starving Children.  I'd done it before and it is fun.
The gist is this.  Each volunteer does something different: bag, scoop rice, scoop soy, scoop chicken nutrients, scoop veggies, seal, and pack.
How it works: each bag of food that you package can feed up to 6 people.  It's super easy, you just boil water and then add it to the mixture.  Then in a few minutes a super healthy meal is created.  It's definitely a tangible way to serve those in need in countries that you may not be able to physically visit.

they have some amazing stories of children who were incredibly malnourished, and because of the packages of food being sent, they are much stronger and healthier.
It's really awesome honestly. You always hear about starving children in Africa or starving people everywhere.... and this is a simple way to meet the needs of those individuals... i love it.
