Feeding the Philippines

Donation protected
I have two passions in my life, food, and children. Children are the foundation of the future and strong bright minds need nourishment not only with knowledge and love but with good nutritious food. Recently the UN has put the Philippines on the list for top 20 countries with children under the age of 6 years old who are malnourished. Most of the time the only meal a child can receive is the one meal they are allowed to have at school. This 'luxury' of getting fed at school is slowly being cut back and instead of every child being guaranteed a meal only grade school children are promised a warm plate of rice. My goal is to spend a minimum of 1 month in the Philippines and visit the poorest provinces and help implement self-sustainable foods with the school districts and teach young mothers about nutrition and the benefit of breast feeding their children in the early years of development. I know I am only one person and I don't expect to change this crisis over night or even over the course of the 1 month that I want to go, but If I can feed one Filipino child a meal that's warm and nutritious I would think that would be making even the smallest bit of difference.
