HUNGER NO MORE... (please watch the video at the end of the blog)
I received a link to the World Vision website that told about a World Food Day on Oct. 16th. I have included the article below. My husband and I sponsor several children with World Vision and I have always appreciated their ministry and work towards relieving the suffering of children and families around the world.

Nice! Your blog looks very nice! So you were able to post a video. How did you do that? I still wasn't able to post the bear video.
Thanks Liz for the video. I think that is an innovative way to open up the minds of other people to someone's else sufferings. foten time we are desensitize when we watch these videos because we see them so often, but to experience hunger and have what they actually have, makes a difference or at least leaves an impact. I know I have read where research have shown that some of these cultures do not tolerate(literally) some of the food we give them, is the porridge something that is part of their culture made with the ingredients that they would normally use? Do you know?
