Every .23 cents you donate supplies a packaged meal ready to ship to these people. Our Palm Beach Satellite of Kids Against Hunger with volunteers becomes the manufacturer. We purchase the bulk materials and package them into ready to distribute 3 mil thick bags with 6 servings each and box them 36 bags to a box and palletize them 33 boxes to a pallet.....from there whichever country is selected the special formual meals are shipped....a $50.00 donation would supply a box ready to go - thats 216 meals. That could give a family of seven - or seven children a balanced nutritional meal daily for a month - just $50.00. Any amount donation is highly treasured and respected.

Education in Cazeau Haiti

Greetings,
Let me take the priveledge to introduce to you our children at Cadeau. We have a little elementary school there and want to give you some facts of Haitian Life.

The fact is there is no tax base in haiti for providing for the childrens education. Around half the people it is said in haiti do not read or write. These children you see her would have no option for an education even though there parents desire would be that there children would recieve and education. The reason for this is the parents would have to choose between education or giving these children something to eat....we do what we can but need your help.

Our goals is to see they get the materials and teaching helps they need. We also have the goal of cooking for them that hot meal special formula we can supply through the Kids Against Hunger Palm Beach County packaging satelite.

We can easily put a child in school for about $10.00 american a month. we can give them a cooked and delivered meal for about 410.00 a month. we can supply them some medical care for about $10.00 a month. So for $30.00 american a month we can educate, feed daily a balanced nutritional meal that will supply them with all the required daily allowances needed for the developement for their bodies and brains and help them with smaller medical needs. As each schools donor base grows we are able to strenthen all these areas. Anything and everything helps. Any amount helps. We are doing it anyway and with your help it will be strenthened. Maybe yopur business, oragnization, civic group, church, synagogue or other may want to sponsor a school. A basic school budget for one of our schools can be as little as $300.00 to $450.00 per month and they can have a good school, one of the best schools in thier country. Help us today!!!

We call this: ONE CHILD AT A TIME -
$10.00 - give a child an education
or
$10.00 - give a child a special formula meal with 52% protein, 21 vitamins & minerals, 6 vegetables and rice every school day each month
or
$10.00 to help give the child basic health care for a month
or
$30.00 - give all to a child for a month or ongoing .... basically you will be adopting a child -

we will report on the idea of adoption in haiti. The short of it now is this. When a family cannot afford to take care of their child anymore they will ask someone to adopt the child. What they are hoping is a better future for their child. In some cases the children are abused, more on that in a later report. What we do is leave them with their family and help with the financial burden by our TAX DEDUCTABLE DONATION that we give to ONE CHILD AT A TIME and giving them a meal thats meets daily requirements, give them an education and some medical care. By the strength of many donors we can make all the programs all the stronger.

WHAT ARE SOME HAITANS EATING

What is this? I am glad you asked....
This dear reader and freind is a Haitan mud pie. This particular one has some of the finest of ingredients in it. You see how white it is - this is the better DIRT. This IS ALL SOME WILL HAVE TO EAT TODAY. Some of us never involuntarily missed a meal so it is hard to relate to this condition. Sometimes some go many days without food. Reports of deaths from starvation get reported in this NEIGHBOR country ONE AND ONE HALF (1.5) HOURS BY PLANE FLIGHT FROM fLORIDA.

Thats right DIRT. Thats the recipe. A special dirt coming from a certain region of haiti near Hinche. Then it is mixed with water and the rocks, roots, and undesolvable bigger hard pieces of /// whatever?? are removed. You stir it up real good, not with any special sanitary utensils, mostly bare hands of the workers making the pies - or cookies....

After that, which the water IS NOT BOILED or anything, after that add some oil, butter if you want to spend a extra to formulate and a little salt and mix it all together and you have the MUD PIE BATTER or some call them MUD PIE COOKIES.

Next you take the BATTER nad spread it into a swirl like this and place them somewhere to dry in the sun...maybe on concrete or most times a sheet of material used again and again without washing (it costs to much money for the soap and the walk is too much for the water into the 5 gallon buckets)

So after some hours they are dry and ready for the market so other haitians can eat and stop the hunger pains today.

These are even fed to children. They sell for about 5 cents american....if a haitian eats this it is because there is nothing else....

You can HELP STOP THE CHILDREN FROM EATING THESE MUD PIES...

for every .23 cents you can donate or help us to raise one meal of a special formula will be given to a child and they will not need to eat a mud pie / cookie today!!!!
