Andrew runs for Feed the Hungry

I am Andrew Pemberton I have been working for Feed the Hungry since October 2010 doing Administration work.  On the Sunday 16^th October I will be running  the  Cardiff  Half  Marathon for Feed The Hungry UK 

This is the first time I have done anything like this before so it is a challenge to me as I am registered partially  sighted and have a moderate Learning Disability.

The training I am doing is a number of runs each week on road and on a running track at my local sports centre.

I did my first road run on Sunday after a lot of training before hand on the route.

I am doing this as a fund raiser for the organisation and I am looking for people to sponsor me for this event .

If you like to sponsor Andrew please email us at gwilliams@feedthehungry.org

Container arrives safely In Romania

Dear Brothers,
I want to briefly inform you that the Container CMAU 553394-3 from Canada, has been successfully cleared through the Romanian Customs. We have unloaded it at our warehouse in Bucharest.
Sincerely, Alin Panican Bread of Life.

  

Thanks to our partners response across the globe this year we are able to provide meals every day for 1200 children in 12 different locations across Romania. With the first this year container arriving from Canada thanks to a generous donation by one of our partners.

The food will be distributed to churches who have set up dinner clubs for street kids projects amongst the poorest Romanians, orphanages and a Leprosy Hospital . Following on are 2 more containers which are on the way from our warehouse in Southbend.

It is great to see the generosity of our partners in action. Thank you 

Reaching out to the children of Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone is a country in desperate need, with 7 out of 10 people living in poverty, AIDS affecting much of the population and with the second highest infant mortality rate in the world. Hundreds of children in Sierra Leone sleep on orphanage floors without so much as a toy, a mosquito net or money for food.

You’ve helped us provide meals to children in similar situations all over the world through our Every Child Every Day program. Now, you have the chance to change the lives of these children, just like you did for the children in the neighboring country, Liberia.

Our ministry partner in Liberia, Pastor Alan Klayee, is asking us to help him reach across the border to help these little ones. Pastor Alan would lead and oversee the ministry, but he needs your help; he needs food.

 Our goal is to raise £14,000 in the UK over the next 21 days to feed 1,000 vulnerable children in Sierra Leone everyday for a year. 

Consider how the Lord would have you give to this ministry today and bring hope and life in Christ to these precious children. Call today on 0845 519 6025 or Donate online at www.feedthehungry.org.uk

Drought in Uganda

Here are some of the pictures of food distribution to the refugees and the hungry in a place called Kosovo in Kampala where thousands of people are going hungry because of the raise in food prices. This was our first experiment on knowing how to handle the feeding as we establish feeding centres during this very trying moment in our Country. These pictures  of women lining up with their kids to

have most probably  their only mean for the day are becoming commonplace in Uganda.

Below is an article in Uganda newspaper last week which highlights the depth of the problem across the country. Feed The Hungry are continuing partner with Solomon in his ministry to supply  meals every day for the children under his care. With an outpouring of grace we can help our brothers and sisters in Christ know that love knows no boundaries.  

 

Famine hits Teso, Acholi regions Wednesday, 13th April, 2011  

      E-mail article               Print article

By Milton Olupot and B. Namboozo

PREGNANT mothers in Teso and Acholi regions have resorted to eating termites and leaves for survival, due to acute shortage of food, Parliament heard on Tuesday.

Soroti Woman MP Alice Alaso stunned the House when she said some people in the north and eastern regions had started eating rats owing to the acute lack of food.

“In Teso, we are suffering, we are hungry and I believe there is enough money in the Government coffers to salvage us,” she said amidst, murmurs of ‘shame’, ‘shame’, and ‘shame’, especially from the opposition politicians.

Refugees and disaster preparedness minister Prof. Tarsis Kabwegyere caused uproar when he demanded that Alaso gives the numbers and names of women who were feeding on termites.

Several MPs, angered by the minister’s statement, demanded that the Speaker, Edward Ssekandi, pronounces Kabwegyere out of order because of what they called insensitive statements from him.

Ssekandi, however, did not heed to their call and simply asked the minister to find food for the people.

Take Away Hunger

Four pounds | one hundred meals

You may be wondering how we can send 100 meals around the world for only £4.

It is made possible through a team effort – A fellow charitable organisation donates food, free of charge -we then cover the transportation costs to strong, established ministries we know and trust. We ensure that large 40ft containers, filled with 920,000 meals, get right to the people who need them most. Thus, it costs only £4 to send 100 meals almost anywhere in the world!

The meals we deliver are a combination of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, minerals and vitamins. These highly nutritious meals are designed to be easy and safe to transport; simple to make with only boiling water; and culturally acceptable worldwide. While the meals were designed to save the lives of severely malnourished and starving children, the ingredients will also improve the health, growth and physical wellbeing of children who are no longer in immediate danger of starvation.

We have seen firsthand how a simple daily source of basic nutrition can dramatically improve a child’s life. Little “Mercy” arrived at one of the orphanages at the age of eight months—her mother had died a month earlier.  Mercy was terribly malnourished. But today she’s a healthy and happy little girl. As with so many children who arrive damaged by malnutrition, it was the fortified rice especially that “brought her to life.”

It doesn’t take much to be part of the answer; we can do something to take away hunger, for as little as £4!

For the cost of 1  burger take-away, you can take away hunger for 100 Thai street children! For the cost of       1 Indian take-away, you can take away hunger for 100 abandoned Indian children! For the cost of  a fish and chip take away you can provide 100 hot and nutritious meals for hungry children in Romania!

By partnering with us as a Take-Away Hunger supporter you would be  supporting  over 30,767 children among 20 ministries in 20 countries: in refugee camps near Irene Gleeson in Kitgum Uganda; in orphanages like Charlie Milbrodt’s in North Thailand; among outreaches to street children like Mercy & Grace in India; and the Bread of Life orphanage in Romania. These children not only receive hot nutritious meals every day, but are fed spiritually through the ministry of our partners.

You can help! We can’t do everything, but together we can make a difference to these children in their time of need. Be part of the solution to ending world hunger by becoming part of the team effort by making a regular commitment as a Take-Away Hunger supporter.

Thank you and God bless you for your compassionate gift in response.
