kenya Feeding

On Oct 6th through the 13th, I made a journey to Kenya, Nairobi where I had the privilege of traveling with and working alongside Breedlove’s trusted and valued partner SERV International and the founder/CEO of RootRadius, a marketing agency that exists to help causes tell their story more effectively.  The purpose of this trip was to personally witness firsthand the use of Breedlove’s humanitarian food products in the field.  As a result of the experience, I am also able to confidently come alongside SERV in a partnership to help raise awareness of their program needs, as well as to help raise funds for the acquisition of Breedlove’s food for those programs.  What follows is an account of my journey.  I hope you are encouraged by it, and motivated to help us to help them by raising the funds to fill one 40-foot container with our food product to feed the precious people they serve in Kenya.  More details on this project at the end of this blog report.

Day 1:  After about 18 hours in the air, and more hours than that in airport layovers, I arrived in Nairobi.  Our first night in country, we stayed as guests at the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) compound where the food and the accommodations were very pleasant.

TajikistanAugust 7th - I departed for a busy 2-week trip to central Asia, making stops in Tajikistan, Kyrgystan and Uzbekistan to personally witness the programs of our valued partner, Resource Policy Exchange (RPX).  RPX utilizes our food through our government’s USAID, International Food for Peace program to provide nutritious food to orphanages, hospitals working with tuberculosis patients, and other health care agencies.   In 2012, they will deliver a total of 356.44 metric tons of food (17,822,000 servings) to the three countries.

August 9-11 - My travels first took me to Tajikistan where I visited 7 TB hospitals, a mental hospital, the US Embassy, and held meetings with the department of Agriculture, the Deputy Minister of Health, the head of the USAID Family Farming Program, and participated in a roundtable on global warming.

Dearest in Christ,
Greetings from Pakistan.

It’s really great to let you know that our 5th tour in Pakistan was a great success. Things went very well. Our travelling, though was dangerous but Thank God nothing unusual happened. Two hundred families were benefitted by our feeding programs. Hallelujah!! Excitement of the people was worth seeing. I have attached a Praise Report with this email with the list of the people who got the food.

God Bless You,

VitaNutFrom Texas to Tanzania the concept of malnutrition is the same. The difference lies, not in how it is defined, but by how many experience it.

However, with the help of American farmers and the innovation of a non-profit organization, the gap between Texas and Tanzania is about to get a whole lot smaller.

By definition, malnutrition is what occurs when a person is not getting some or all of the nutritional elements that are necessary for human health. Unfortunately however, malnutrition and its consequences are not confined to this finite definition.
