Twice in November I participated in packing meals for children around the world.
Feed My Starving Children organization is in Mesa, AZ
Olivia, Kaylei, Kaylee and Me.
We had fun scooping, sealing and filling boxes with nutritious meals.
Today our group packed over 60,000 meals for starving children.
On another day I joined friends; Jimmy, Linda plus Max, Heather, & their 3 kids.
We packed over 50,000 meals on Thanksgiving Day. What a great cause.
It was in Uganda that I saw the other end of Feed My Starving Children's work. 3 times April and I went to Smile Africa and fed the many children. Smile Africa feeds 400-600 children a day. For many kids it is their only meal all day. We heard in Uganda that the nutrients in these packed meals have made a huge positive impact on their children's health.
Here the kids gather for their lunchtime meal.
There is a familiar box like those we packed in Mesa. Each day those ingredients are being cooked in Uganda! Pastor Ruth (on the left) is the founder of Smile Africa. She is an amazing woman!
Meals are ready. Kids are ready. Waiting patiently.
Cute kids!!!!

I am so thankful for those impactful visits to Smile Africa in Uganda. I am also thankful for "Feed My Starving Children" as they are truly making a difference for kids around the world!!!
You saw first hand what this organization is doing to try and eliminate starving children...bless you and the others for making a difference!
