Feeding Children Everywhere

Nick’s group is a social charity whose mission is to empower and mobilize people everywhere who pay for the opportunity to assemble healthy meals for children.   The emphasis is on the effect that this gesture has on the people who volunteer on a one-time basis, to participate.  Nick is an event management coordinator for this project, of packaging large shipments of a special meal.

Nick is available to church groups, clubs, schools corporations, etc, to organize, in their own meeting place, tables of an assembly line to pack bundles of a tasty casserole dish, all vegetarian, that could feed a family of four, or make four good meals for one person.

We learned that this package consists of all-natural ingredients including lentils, which provide protein and fiber.  This little pea also contains iron, and iron deficiency is the cause of most common nutritional deficiencies in the world.  Rice contributes carbohydrates and amino acids, and there are dehydrated vegetables for vitamins and fiber, and pink Himalayan salt which contains 84 trace minerals.  All a person has to do is drop the contents of the pouch into boiling water and wait for it plump up.

In researching these ingredients, Nick’s charity found some interesting facts about soy beans, which made them decide not to include that in this diet.  Too much soy has been found to cause thyroid disorders and reproductive issues, such as inducing puberty earlier than the culture would desire.

What Nick has observed is that when corporations such as J. P. Morgan, Bank of America, Starbuck’s, Johnson and Johnson and KFocus, for example, ask him to organize a program for them, all the participants become competitive.  Wearing hairnets for the occasion, they have a great time, listening to up-beat music while enjoying an unusually active activity instead of sitting listening to a program.  His way, the volunteers become involved and empowered.  They now have a focus for their energy!

   How can we do something about hunger? Feeding Children Everywhere can tailor their hunger projects for your organizations, packing boxes for families or villages.  They have helped out in Haiti, central Florida after hurricanes, Oklahoma after cyclones, and the Philippines after the recent heavy flooding caused by a powerful tropical typhoon.

$1.00 can buy four meals; 20,000 meals can be produce for $5,000, and $62,500 becomes 250,000 meals.    Nick announced with enthusiasm that 96% of all money donated goes directly into the project, for the costs of the food and distributing it.  Only 4% goes to administrative fees, which is an extremely high ration of affect to effect.  Most fund-raising organizations cannot compare with this efficiency.
