YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
We are working on and in need of your help for three vital projects here in Libano:

1. A powdered milk program for poor families who have children.
2. Assistance for a school lunch program.
3. A housing program for 32 families that are living in a high risk area.

These families are extremely poor and often go without any food. The children go to school on empty stomachs and do not pass many of their classes. We have been helping out a small group of students with the lunch assistance and I can testify to a huge improvement in their attitude, grades, and general behavior all because of a little food in their stomachs. Yet this is only for a small group. There are 81 children who go to school hungry everyday in one particular school. For $3.00 per month we can provide a nutritional meal for one student. Powdered milk costs $5.00 per can and provides nutrition for one infant for a week. The housing program is for families that are living on the edge of a cliff that has mud slides during the rainy season. Two years ago a mother was killed when her house was crushed under a mud slide. We appreciate your help.........EVEN A SMALL CONTRIBUTION WILL GO A LONG WAY!
