Plumpy'Nut

So remember those posts about how our Orphan Ministry was raising money for Plumpy'Nut? Well yesterday we had our meeting to tally the amount and you won't believe it, but...

$4100

SERIOUSLY.

Clearly people got behind this "little" project. Clearly people care. Those few of us (I think total there were about 6 people actively fundraising) had stories to tell. Of people who had been looking for something like this, just waiting for it to fall in their laps. And there it was.

We found out that it takes about 3-4 weeks of P'nut to turn Ethiopian children's lives around. After a little math from Jody, we calculated that our totals will help to save 91 kids.

91 children. 91 Tariku's.

91

91 mothers who were mentally preparing themselves for a burial get a new lease on life for their precious babies.

That counts.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
