Who will feed these children?

A number of months ago, the Karamojong children around Tororo would rise early in the morning
to dig through the trash for rotten potatoes and other produce thrown
out by vendors. One day a 10 year old girl, Maria, was picking through
the trash for food. She found a piece of meat in the mouth of a dead
rat. Within hours she died a violent death. We knew we had to do
something and began helping Pastor Ruth of Smile Africa to feed these children.
Up to 420 children arrive daily and are fed two meals, they are bathed,
their clothes are washed, and wounds are treated. There are teachers on
hand teaching them reading, writing, and arithmetic. These children
whom were regarded as parasites to the community are now filled with
the love of Christ.
We received this letter from Pastor Ruth:
“On Wednesday I broke down and cried. Every organization and department rushes to provide food for the refugees and when we sit in meetings everyone of them is concerned about overflow of items or duplication of services but none of them i
s seeing the plight of the street children who end up eating poisoned food as they rampage the rubbish tins if they are not attended to. (Although Ruth constantly tells these organizations about the children) Is it about them wanting to be seen by the whole world as having saved the refuges? Is it about hitting the headlines in newspapers? How I wish they could know how important it is for the King of Kings to know them and to see in secret the good work they offer to the needy. . . Somewhere on this planet God has people whom He will use to make this program continue. Please deliver our heartfelt appreciation to all the people God has used to avail funds to sustain this program. Their reward is in heaven—when we meet Jesus they will be amazed to see all these beautiful faces shining with joy and Jesus telling them “thank you for being my heart and hands to these children.”
What if we told you we could feed a child for 7.5 cents? Could you refuse?
Hope 4 Kids International has recently collaborated with Feed My Starving Children in an effort to bring steady nutritious meals to these children for a very low cost. FMSC provides individually packed highly nutritious and filling meals packed with rice, soy, vitamins and dehydrated vegetables all for free. The catch? The recipient must pay for the cost of the shipping. Shipping and duty fees on a 40ft. container carrying 270,864 meals runs around $20,000. Currently, FMSC gets around 71 million food requests and are able to fill around 51 million.
“The nutrition is exceptionally vital; especially for these young children to grow up strong in order for their bodies to fight off diseases like malaria and measles”, says founder, Tom Eggum. “With soaring food costs, these kids need our help. After you see it first hand, you cannot turn your back on these children.”
Hope 4 Kids International is currently working on a shipment of 270, 864 meals to Uganda but we need your financial contributions for the cost of shipping. Donations can be made directly on the homepage of our website at www.h4ki.org.
100% of your donation goes directly to shipping costs of the container of food.
No administrative costs are taken out. For more information on Hope 4 Kids, please visit their website or email angie@h4ki.org.
Currently, Hope 4 Kids has been providing hope to kids around the world in ninety-five countries for over thirty-five years.
