Oh what a difference good formula makes!

Recently we learned that the medical bills of an orphanage we are helping with nutrition went down 90% after the babies started receiving the absolute best formula possible. Isn't that amazing? 90%. We know that funding nutrition often isn't as exciting as funding something with immediate results like medical, but we are SO grateful to everyone who gives to this essential program. The orphanage staff tell us over and over that babies who receive adequate nutrition are happier and healthier, which improves the mood of everyone in the orphanage! It is so wonderful to have parents adopt children from where we do nutrition write us when they get home to tell us how healthy their children are. We just got some updated photos from one orphanage and just had to share. Too cute! Don't you love the hats? They were handknit by some wonderful supporters.
