I grew up not far from Bay area, a country rich with rivers and rainfall but challenged with numerous atrocities that those of us in other parts of the world take for granted. Malaria, child mortality, and malnutrition have plagued this region for years.  I have personally witnessed families struggle and grind for basic human necessities such as clean water and warm food for the day. Homes have been destroyed and family units have been broken over the lack and limitations that run rampant in this area. My goal is to bring a bit of joy to the area this Christmas. Your help can empower us to provide bags of rice, clean water, vegetables, canned tomatoes and seasonings. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
