September 2007 Children's Feeding Program Update

Earlier this year, the food program was expanded to include orphans and vulnerable children in the village of Mieze. By actual count, IMC is currently feeding 158 village children through the Mieze church and 22 babies are currently receiving formula. This initiative began in January when Mieze Pastor Juma showed IMC missionary Don Kantel twin baby orphan girls who were almost dead from malnutrition and asked if we could help. Attached is a picture of one of those babies taken this month. She wasn’t too happy about a white person pointing a camera at her; but she and her sister are chubby, strong and healthy today because of the intervention and provision made possible by support for this life-giving program.
