I get things in the mail from World Vision just about every week. I sponsor a girl in Albania, but they have regular mailouts to ask for donations towards particular agendas. But what I got yesterday made my heart happy. World Vision is now purchasing and distributing Plumpy*Nut!!! In case you didn't get a really cool email from me earlier this year about this amazing product, basically it's a peanut-based paste full of vitamins and minerals that is basically saving lives in Africa. This product can essentially take a child who is so malnourished that he is on the brink of death, and put weight on him in just days. The nutritious packet is made by locals in the countries where it is distributed, thus providing even more jobs. Additionally, the packets can keep for a long time which means they can be transported without spoiling. Kids love the sweet taste and even toddlers can feed themselves (like in the photo above). If you're interested in learning more about donating through World Vision to the cause of Plumpy*Nut, click here to watch a short video on it and see how to give:
Mom sent me this from work this morning. Classic!
