We're happy to report that thanks to the support of the GlobalGiving Campaign we were able to raise over $5000 to be used toward our healthy eating program. Currently we are feeding over 350 healthy meals to malnourished children every school day. Sometimes, this is the only meal a child will receive in a day.
The GlobalGiving program provided exposure to our need. 46 single and monthly donations were given.
Leonardo, one of our constituents, is an 11 year old boy who benefits from the Sarahuaro healthy eating program. Since birth, Leonardo has been very sick. He suffers from bronchial asthma, a chronic respiratory disease resulting in seizures, difficulty breathing and coughing.
Despite the love from his family, it is difficult for him to live without fear of violence and threat of starvation. Because of our donors and donor programs such as GlobalGiving, every school day Leonard has a full meal through the Sarahuaro Kitchen program; therefore, he is able to concentrate more and is excelling in his studies. His dream is to study Criminology in University someday. With the improvement in his eating habits, Leonardo’s health is improving everyday..
Thank you GlobalGiving, we are grateful for your support.
