Today is World Food Day. A day to not only open our eyes to the issue of chronic hunger, but a day to take a stand against it. I can’t feed the world. But I can feed Chereka. I can’t feed the world. But I can feed Reymart. I can’t feed the world. But I can choose to partner with an organization that creates a sustainable future for those who…
The Food for the Hungry bloggers are in Guatemala this week, and I have been soaking up every post. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen firsthand the way communities are transformed through child sponsorship, or maybe it’s because this crew is so dang talented.
