Feed the Forgotten

I run into people all the time that have a desire to reach out and help, but have no idea where to get started. Well, there is no one right way to get started – but any help you can give anywhere is doing something. The point is to help wherever and whenever you can. My wife and I started with sponsoring a child through Compassion International. That has been a huge blessing not only to the girl in Haiti whom we sponsor, but also to our family in seeing how we are able to positively impact others’ lives through organizations that are out there in the field. We love hearing about how with the extra gifts we sometimes give, the family is able to buy goats to support themselves.

I ran across another organization today that is helping to feed starving people in Uganda. The organization is Children’s HopeChest and they have a campaign called “Feed the Forgotten” that they are pushing hard to try and get donations for. Their goal right now is to be able to provide food for 3-4 villages that they are currently tareting; they are hoping to expand that to more villages based on the donations given. Did you know that for $20 you can feed a family for 20 days? A lot of us spend at least that much money feeding ourselves for just 1 day. I encourage anybody reading this to visit the site and donate today! Here is your opportunity to do something today!
