Saving Lives Around the World

Its been a while and a lot has happened here but there is something else I need to share with everyone today.

It is called Plumpy’nut. This peanut butter like substance is packed with nutrients. In the land where food is king and obesity is as common as brushing one’s teeth, it is a wonder why this substance would be of any use. In places such as Somalia and Bolivia where children are dying as a direct result or complication of malnutrition and starvation, this substance will save lives. Packed not only with necessary nutrients but also vitamins to help support a healthy immune system, this substance, a food really, can bring a child back to life from the very hands of death.

Right now, World Vision, an organization who has been working in the developing world for several years and has several missions throughout the globe is offering anyone willing to donate a chance to save thousands of lives. With a donation of whatever you can afford ($5 - $5,000) World Vision has made arrangements to have this amount multiplied by 6 to purchase and provide Plumpy’nut to those most severely in need.  

If you are concerned about giving to an organization you are unfamiliar with, let me attest that my family has given to World Vision and associated humanitarian organizations throughout the last four years. However, should you still have concerns, feel free to take a look at the Better Business Bureau report for World Vision at http://www.bbb.org/charity-reviews/national/child-sponsorship/world-vision-in-federal-way-wa-12791

Even if it were a scam, wouldn’t it be worth $20 to try and save a life?
